Retail Businesses for Sale

  • Primary Category: Clothing & Accessory Stores for Sale

This well-established South Carolina dance apparel retailer serves a loyal regional dance community from two full-service retail locations. Staff are dance-trained, including the ability to fit pointe shoes, a specialized skill that keeps customers coming back.

The business carries apparel and shoes for all forms of dance (ballet, tap, jazz, contemporary, praise dance, clogging) along with leotards, tights, bags, and accessories for all ages and levels. It maintains strong relationships with area dance studios, school dance programs, and professional companies, and carries deep in-stock inventory, a key differentiator from online competitors given how size-specific dancewear fit can be.

Pointe shoes are a particularly strong category, generating frequent repeat purchases. Trained management at each location allows current ownership a limited day-to-day role. The owner is retiring after many years.

Priced at $350,000, this includes over $300,000 of inventory at cost, and all furniture, fixtures, and equipment in both stores.

For more information on this opportunity, please complete the Contact Form or contact Katherine Harris at Sunbelt Business Brokers at 803-779-2919. An NDA and Buyer Profile will be required.
