Lot 1 - Real Estate Information
You won’t believe this location - From I’55 taking Exit 52 property less than 1/2 mile. Visible from I-55 and about 150 yards from Rural King. These are the neighboring businesses (most are brand new!): Shell station, McDonalds, Holiday Inn, Long John Silver’s, A & W, Wendy’s, Denny’s, Maverick Steak and Spirits, Burger King, Arby’s, Jack in the Box, Steak Haus & Burger Joint, Taco Bell, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pizza Hut, Walgreens, Quality Inn, Hampton Inn, West Side Cinema, Super 8, R. P. Lumber, Fast Stop Gas, Conoco, Enterprise Car Rental, Brubecker Buick and GMC, and less than 1/2 mile from strip mall and Super Wal-Mart.... I haven’t listed everything, but this gives you an idea of this location and the opportunities associated with this real estate. Ask yourself: What would it cost today to buy this land and build the building? At least $50 - $60 per square foot?
Lot 2 - The Ringing Phone Number and the Business Den-Mar Trucking is the first call for many law enforcement agencies and is the first call choice wrecker service for major companies. Looking through invoices for the past year, these are only a few of the names that appear over and over:
Penske * J B Hunt * FEDEX FREIGHT * Allstate Ins. * Crete Carrier * Farmers Insurance * Frito Lay, Inc. * National Freight * UPS Yellow Freight * Ryder * Pehler Trucking * Wal-Mart Transportation * Casey’s Convenience * Cardinal Health * USA TRUCK, INC * Mak Trucking * National Freight * UPS Freight * Freightliner * CDI Services, Inc. * Fleet Net America * Tyson Foods * ALTL Truck Lines * Warren Transport * MC LEOD EXPRESS * EJ Logistics * SCHNUCKS * Cox Transfer * Springfield Plastics * Transit Pros * AM Express * Star Transportation * US Express * Freight * CR England * Energy Petroleum * Glacier Ice * All Freight Systems * Heartland Express * Carlinville School District * PRAIRIE INTERNATIONAL * Roehl Transportation * Metro Express * ABC Transportation * Hills Bros. * Tyson Foods * Signature Motor Club * Buhr Trucking * Fleet Net America * Martin Transport * ADM Trucking * Swift Transportation * Knight Transportation * Aramark * WERNER ENTERPRISE * Strong Trucking * US Express * Central Transport * Transcor America * Daimler * Antler Transport * Hogan Leasing * BEELMAN TRUCKING * Midwest Copier * Wayne Smith Trucking * Sterling Express * United Road * STAR TRANSPORTATION * Schute * Main Line * M & R Trucking * Kenworth * Trimac * Triad Transport * Daily Express * Fleet Net America...on and on...
The Seller tells me that he started this business over 23 years ago; then, it took 3 months for the phone to ring - now it rings day and night. I have never had a conversation with this Seller lasting longer than 20 minutes before he is off on another call. Now he is retiring and selling EVERYTHING! He has built an extremely successful business that is recession proof in a time of a really difficult economy. Whether you are in the area and already in a similar business or if you are outside the Litchfield, IL area and want to expand your own business or even looking for a new career - can you imagine walking into a business and cash flowing immediately?
Okay....just when you thought it sounded perfect - almost too good to be true - I have an even better senario for you:
The secretary, who has been there for 4 years (and my Seller tells me if she can work with him, she can work with ANYONE), would like to stay and keep her job. She’s a really sweet, young lady and if the buyer is interested, she would like to continue to work there.
She gave me this list of her responsibilities:
A/P & A/R
Payoll
State & Federal taxes
Inventory
Dispatching
Answering telephones
Greeting customers
Ordering supplies
Balancing the checkbook
Pretty much a little bit of everything except working on the trucks & towing.
Bottom line: you buy the business - she will help you run it.
There you have it...... Unless there is a gold mine under the asphalt, I don’t know how it could get better.
