Business Description:

Popular men’s clothing brand expanding from Taiwan to Southern California has four new retail stores located in well-known and high-traffic shopping centers. The brand produces attire, from shoes to shirts and suits that have a distinctly European style with a touch Asian-inspired flare. The clothing aims for the market of men who are looking for elegant fashion choices at affordable prices. Since its U.S. opening in 2016, revenue has grown tenfold. Sellers, those who currently hold exclusive distribution rights for Southern California, have invested upward of $485,000 building out well-designed and attractive stores and have created a warm, modern and fashionable spaces in which customers feel comfortable and pampered while providing the best products to its customers. This is a substantial value to a Buyer who will not have to invest any money in improvements for years to come.

Governed by the parent company of an international brand, the Sellers have experienced more barriers to operating smoothly in the U.S. market than anticipated. They attribute these obstacles to language and cultural differences as it relates to staff management and operating systems; how to run efficient operations and keep expenses down. They hope to find a local Buyer that already has expertise in running fashion industry operations in the U.S. market so the stores can thrive and the brand will continue to grow here. The sale includes exclusive distribution rights in Southern California; the leasehold improvements of all four stores; all shares and assets of the U.S. corporation. The existing inventory, subject to change and to be detailed at closing, will be available for the business Buyer to purchase at cost.

Business Trends:

Demographic Changes – Demographic shifts can greatly affect the size of a clothing store’s customer base. From 2015 to 2025, the population of the US is expected to grow by 8%. The population of adults between the ages of 25 and 44 is expected to increase by 10%, and the population between 45 and 64 is expected to increase the decline of 2%. Meanwhile, the population age 65 and older is forecast to grow 38%. People 65 and older spend about half as much on apparel and services as those under 35.

 

Department Store Competition Decreases – Fewer shoppers buy at department stores: clothing store sales increased by 29% between 2005 and 2015, while sales at conventional department stores fell 31%. Specialty clothing retailers have stolen sales from department stores with lower prices, or more unique merchandise and better service. Despite tough competition from a variety of retailers, including a growing number of off-price chains and formats, department stores continue to focus on apparel and fashion-related merchandise to drive sales.

Buyer acknowledges and agrees that all Confidential Information furnished hereunder shall be and remain the property of Seller. Buyer further agrees not to disclose or permit access to any Confidential Information, without Seller’s prior written consent, to anyone other than Buyer’s legal counsel, accountants, lenders, or other agents or advisors (“Buyer Consultants”) to whom disclosure or access is necessary for Buyer to evaluate the Business. Disclosure of the Confidential Information shall be made to such Buyer Consultants only for the sole purpose of evaluating the possible purchase by Buyer of all or part of the stock or assets of Seller, and Buyer represents and warrants that each such Buyer Consultant has agreed, prior to its receipt of Confidential Information, to abide and be bound fully by all terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as Buyer so agrees and is bound.
