We have not marketed this area, earnings could easily double with proper marketing. We own the franchise in another county and only travel to this county when time permits. For somebody that could do this full-time, it could be a nice little business. Price only includes the franchise name, rights, and list of current customers. However, for an increase price, we could possibly include truck, equipment, etc. Please call for more details

Comments: This is a upstart company that is growing on a daily basis.  There is roughly over $85,000.00 in equipment.
Most of the ground work has been done with three distribution centers throughout the midwest.  These distributors cover over 14 markets and this product has been slotted already in these warehouses.  This is a great opportunity and the sky is truly the limit, there is not a company that makes this product in the U.S.  For more details please call or e-mail and I will get back to you asap.
