Key points
Business description
A turnkey Pepperidge Farm Bread distribution route based in Carmel, New York, in the heart of Putnam County and the lower Hudson Valley, is offered for sale. This is an established, independently operated route (IBO model) averaging $12,538 in weekly sales (approximately $651,976 annualized), with seller's net running approximately 18 percent of gross (about $117,000 per year). Why this route stands out: Deal structure: asset sale. Buyer down payment approximately $66,000 (about 15 percent); the balance is financed through the company's brand-approved financing program. The buyer must be comfortable with the Pepperidge Farm independent-business-owner (IBO) contractor model and complete the brand-approval process. Ideal buyer: a first-time route owner-operator with the liquidity to cover the down payment and an interest in the Putnam County / Hudson Valley corridor; an existing route operator adding a territory in the region; or an investor-buyer with a manager to run the route. Full route detail, sales records and the confidential information package are available to qualified buyers under a signed NDA and proof of funds.
