Property Description
The Saco Pay-n-Save is a prominent business opportunity in Saco, MT, known for its successful operation and strong community ties. This property includes a 9,900+ sq ft grocery store featuring a comprehensive meat cutting facility, complete with all the necessary equipment for producing high-quality smoked meats. With over four decades of operation, founders Robert & Betty Plouffe have cultivated a reputation for excellence in both product quality and customer service.
Situated on Front St in Saco, MT, directly on Highway 2, this high-traffic location attracts both locals and passersby. The store is a must-visit spot, famous for its unique smoked meat products like meat sticks and specialty bacon. The store offers a diverse range of staple goods and specialty items. It serves the local community with a well-stocked inventory and personalized service, particularly in its meat department, where customers can customize their orders or choose from a variety of pre-prepared smoked meats.
The store processes approximately 550 steers and 350 pigs annually, with strong support from local ranchers. The business also plays a significant role during county fair times, processing many animals sold during these events. The equipment has been continually updated, featuring the latest technology to ensure a clean and efficient meat processing environment. This includes a significant expansion in 2000, which added 8,000+ square feet to the original building. This expansion included six walk-in coolers, a state-of-the-art meat cutting room, a smoke room, and additional space for displaying groceries and supplies.
The business employs nine full-time workers, each well-trained in various aspects of the operation. The owners, Robert and Betty, are committed to providing thorough training to the new owner to ensure a smooth transition. The business generates revenue from three main sources: the grocery store, the custom meat cutting department, and smoked meat products. This diversification provides stability and opportunities for further growth, such as expanding into wholesale markets or shipping products nationwide.
Robert and Betty are long-time residents of Saco and have been actively involved in supporting local initiatives, including 4-H programs. Their retirement does not mean they are leaving the community; instead, they plan to stay in Saco and assist the new owner. The Saco Pay-n-Save is a well-established business with a solid operational foundation and the potential for significant expansion. Opportunities include expanding product distribution to wholesale markets and increasing the reach of their smoked meat products by shipping them across the country.
The Saco Pay-n-Save represents an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in owning a successful, community-focused business with a reputation for high-quality products and exceptional customer service.
