Stadium Sports
Verified Trader,
The Stadium will be 30 next April and I am also retiring after 35 years in my real job in December so I thinking seriously about running the shop full time for one year and then putting it up for sale. We want to travel - anyone who knows me knows we do the Caribbean a couple times a year and Hawaii on occasion. We want to see Canada bad and are planning 4 month road trips.... The off to the southern states.
So in 2020 - not this year or next... but this gives you time to put some real thought to the matter (if interested), i think i will sell the store (accounts and all)
Cost of a home in our area is great ($150 to under $300,000 (3 bedroom, 2 bath, garage) and is within 1 hour drive of Windsor, Sarnia and London (3 solid OHL cities). These cities contribute to our customer base as collectors are collectors along with the city of Chatham and the tri-county area.
Great location (4 unit strip mall with a Subway (ample parking) and 1 block from Tim Hortons) on tourist route (#3 highway which runs along north shore of Lake Erie) and great rent. 6 showcase layout in a 16x40 unit (single bathroom, storage area and sorting area.
We are very much a sports card shop. Although we do carry packs of gaming cards, the focus is sports with one of the largest inventory of OPC you will see in a card shop and a great selection (an entire wall (36 feet) of storage boxes) of singles past to present. Packs, boxes and cases! And to top it all off, we have great loyal customers with new collectors showing up all the time - come check it out - and see for yourself.

What makes this an interesting opportunity for someone - we don't have an eBay store nor do we spend time and/or effort right now on Internet sales. We are also only open 35 hours a week - not 9-5 7 days a week. Our revenue is 95% walk in business. the store has three employees (2 are students) so salaries are very manageable. Your potential salary is based on expectations and your drive (remember we are only open 35 hours a week - imagine how much you can make opening 9-5 everyday and having an online presence)!
LOL - I love the questions we are getting.
