Good Bronx location near #2 and 5 trains (3 stops to Manhattan), and BX6 bus line on busy street. New area co-ops near completion just 5 blocks away that will house hundreds of tenants. Location gets plenty of foot traffic from main shopping area. Plenty of room for expansion by extending store hours; offering delivery service; doing the work yourself; offering tuxedo rentals; adding ATM and/or vending machine; increasing pricing; advertising locally; etc. Owners are very motivated to sell because they are elderly and are ready to retire "yesterday!" This business is priced to sell and is a perfect "starter" dry cleaning business because of its small size and steady business. Owners are seeking $80,000 OBO. Potentially make back the purchase price in 18 months or less! This is net cash-flow at its best. Don't miss this opportunity!
