BUSINESS DESCRIPTION:	Business established in 1994. Open year round. Retail sales of canoes, kayaks, roof rack systems, maps & guide books, paddling accessories. Rental of canoes and kayaks. Naturalist guided kayak tours of local waterways. Four seasonal part time employees and full time owner-manager. Relocatable.

LOCATION:

Highly visible location on U.S. Hwy. 701, a major entrance corridor into the Historic Seaport of Georgetown, a coastal community located between Charleston and Myrtle Beach ... "The Grand Strand", America's second most popular tourist destination. Phenomenal residential growth with year round tourist customers from Myrtle Beach, Garden City, Litchfield Beach, Pawleys Island, Murrells Inlet, and Charleston. Property zoned General Commercial.

GROWTH PATTERN & POTENTIAL:

Successful retail sales due to expansion of high income retail customer bases as far away as Charleston, Columbia, Greenville-Spartanburg, Atlanta, and Charlotte. International growth of outdoor adventure travel continues to expand income from guided tours. Business expansion possible with your addition of related activities such as sales and rentals of bicycles, guided fishing and equipment, camping, hiking, birding, sailing, diving, kiting and clothing accessories, children's and adult paddling lessons and summer camps. Or whatever personal interests you have that you want to integrate ... particularly during the slower shoulder seasons.

REASON FOR SELLING:

I am looking to retire in order to pursue other personal interests, travel with my wife, and visit friends and family. Over the years I have built a fun, smooth operating business with lots of repeat customers. We offer tourist visitors to the Grand Strand something other than beach and golf ... a low impact way to experience and learn about unique outdoor environments from saltwater marshes to blackwater cypress-tupelo swamps, historic colonial-era plantations, and historic seaport waterfronts. During the past couple of years, I have spent more and more time away from the business while my employees run the shop and do the tours. But I know that the business will thrive better with the attention of a fully engaged owner. I will be remaining in the area to work with the new owner during the transition and to work in the store or guide tours if needed. If you have an interest in purchasing an ongoing, successful, easy-to-run, outdoors-healthy, positive cashflow business, then consider Black River Outdoors Center.
