Gondola general is an aptly named retail enterprise. Sales of a wide variety of convenience goods, sporting goods, apparel and gifts produce consistent high sales per square foot during the season with higher than average retail margins and lower than average labor costs. These factors combine such that gondola general outperforms most retailers in profitability as a percent of sales. Due to the seasonal nature of business at the base of a million skier day resort, the owner enjoys several weeks of time off between the winter and summer seasons in both spring and fall. Few mountain town opportunities offer the combination of a flexible lifestyle and high income. This is one of the best. With huge storefront windows that face the main tourist’s walk from the parking lot busses to the gondola, the store can’t be missed. It even has an entrance through the café next door, which means that it is in the perfect browsing location for people trying to warm up from the snowy slopes. Purchase both the established business and 4, 633 sq. Ft. Of real estate (including the café! ) for $3, 190, 000, or just the business for $995, 000.
