Golden Opportunity: NorCal Mining Supply Store

Listing Number: 60367-112557

Description

Step into the heart of California's gold country with this unique opportunity to own a gold mining supply store in Northern California. Established in 1978, this well-respected business has been a cornerstone for miners, prospectors, and outdoor enthusiasts in the area, catering to everyone from beginners to seasoned prospectors. Known for its high-quality products, exceptional customer service, and extensive selection, the store has earned a loyal customer base and consistently positive reviews over its decades of operation.

With an inventory valued at $82,000 and furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) worth $25,000, the store comes fully stocked and equipped, ready for immediate operation under new ownership. It offers everything a mining enthusiast could need, including dredges, sluices, pans, classifiers, metal detectors, and essential tools for successful mining adventures.

Currently owner-operated, the business has ample room for growth. While it enjoys steady traffic and a strong local following, there is significant untapped potential to expand its reach through marketing, advertising, and an online presence. By enhancing the store’s visibility and reaching new audiences, a new owner could capture additional market share from tourists, hobbyists, and mining communities across the West Coast.

With its prime location in a historically rich mining area and an exclusive niche in the market, this business presents a rare chance to carry on a legacy while reaping the benefits of Northern California’s enduring mining culture. For anyone passionate about the outdoors and the thrill of gold mining, this business is a golden opportunity waiting to be discovered.

Seller financing may be available to qualified buyers.
