Profitable Essential Service Franchise W/ Recurring Commercial Revenue

An established two-location operation with recurring commercial revenue, experienced management, and multiple pathways for future growth. This business operates in two franchise locations in Pensacola and Pace, Florida, serving retail and commercial customers with battery sales, device repair, commercial lighting, and recycling services. This business operates largely as a commercial battery supply and service platform, serving fleet operators, municipalities, contractors, government agencies, institutional customers, and retail consumers throughout the Florida Panhandle. The Pensacola location functions as the larger hub, with a retail showroom and attached warehouse. The Pace location operates as a satellite retail showroom. Together, the locations serve the Florida Panhandle from Walton County through Escambia County, with occasional service into Baldwin County, Alabama. The Investment Opportunity The owner acquired the two existing franchise locations in 2023 and has since materially improved the business through inventory expansion, commercial account development, operational discipline, equipment investment, and better utilization of the franchise platform. The business has successfully transitioned from a predominantly retail-focused operation to a commercial-focused service platform, creating strong recurring revenue streams and reducing reliance on consumer retail traffic. Please note that current inventory is not included in the asking price and will be transferred at cost at closing. The owner is selling to pursue other business opportunities. Key Investment Highlights The acquisition presents a compelling opportunity: - Commercial Revenue Mix: Approximately 57% of 2025 revenue came from commercial customers, including fleet, municipal, institutional, contractor, government, defense, and building maintenance accounts. - Recurring Revenue: Commercial customers rely on the business for ongoing battery, lighting, fleet, backup power, and maintenance needs. - Established Franchise Brand: The business operates under the nationally recognized franchise system, with franchisor support, supplier relationships, national marketing, and established operating standards. - Low Owner Dependency: The operations manager and store team handle all store operations, staffing, scheduling, inventory, ordering, and retail execution. - Revenue Diversification: Revenue is generated through battery sales, device repair, commercial lighting, and recycling, reducing reliance on a single product line.
