Ken's Grocery is an established neighbourhood grocery that has proudly served
the Amherst community for more than 50 years. The current owner is only the
second owner in the store's history and has developed a loyal, repeat customer
base that continues to support the business.
The sale includes the commercial property, operating business, equipment and
fixtures, with inventory valued separately at closing. In 2025, the business
generated approximately
- $1.2 million in gross sales
- while operating seven
days a week from
- 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
- The current hours have remained
unchanged since COVID, with no measurable impact on sales while reducing
operating costs.
The business is currently operated by staff with limited day-to-day owner
involvement. The current staff are experienced and may provide continuity for a
purchaser who wishes to maintain the existing operating model. Alternatively, an
owner-operator may identify opportunities to improve operating efficiency
through greater day-to-day involvement, inventory management, merchandising and
labour optimization, as illustrated in the accompanying pro forma analysis.
The previous year's operating performance was affected by inventory loss during
a period of limited owner involvement. The business has since implemented
staffing changes, and the current owner advises that the existing team is strong
and dependable.
An additional opportunity may also exist to acquire the neighbouring
income-producing property, subject to separate negotiation and availability.
