Keene NH – Gardner MA Bread Route

Price: $119,000 – Weekly Sales: $10,692

Bimbo Bakeries is the largest commercial baker in the world.  There is a lot of support through promotional activity to build business.  The Gardner markets have been very helpful and eager to build sales.

An important factor to consider is the stability of the bread business.  People always have to eat.  In holidays, storm preparation, or even the recent virus concerns, the bread business experiences a big increase in sales.  A company report showed that the sales for week #13 – 18, the initial surge, increased 65% over last year. The increase due to the virus sales continue to provide a plus.

Please note, this route does require two services trips to the Price Chopper account per day (5 days per week). Price Chopper expects 7 day service but call backs 5 days. The current owner delivers 5 days but you have to be there 7 days, 5 days twice.  You can pay someone to do this for you. This is due to private label bread sales and the sales volume associated. The current owner does pay someone to handle the afternoon merchandising, but someone local to the route could do it themselves if they chose to do so.
