Business Summary:
Unique opportunity to own a puzzle and game shop in Northern Virginia. The business was founded in 2013 and has become a popular destination with a significant number of regular and repeat customers over the years. There is a broad and diverse mix of toys, puzzles and games with inventory from over 40 companies around the world including many niche and hard to find items.
A friendly and knowledgeable staff is on hand to answer any questions and explain the details of the products. Local customers prefer to shop in-store rather than online because they can touch and feel the products, ask questions about different brands, and ask about appropriateness of various toys, puzzles and games to fit their needs. There is a loyalty program in place which helps bring back customers who regularly come from all over Northern Virginia and down to Fredericksburg and up to Baltimore.
The location has been ideal for this type of business as the town is a popular tourist destination and just off I-95. There are a number of local events such as 2 annual craft fairs, trivia nights, concerts in the park, and more which are usually well attended. The current employees are willing to stay and are flexible with scheduling. This is a great opportunity for a hands on owner with a love for toys, puzzles, games and a desire to share the fun with others!
Please note, inventory may be higher during the 4th and 1st quarter due to the holiday season. The seller is willing to finance or consign additional inventory beyond $25,000.
