Historic Barber Shop in Prime Location
Established for nearly a century, this traditional barber shop offers an opportunity to acquire a durable, relationship-driven service business with a reported repeat customer rate exceeding 90%. Founded in 1928 and under current ownership since 2004, the business combines long operating history, recurring service demand, loyal clientele, and a proven operating model.
The shop provides traditional men's haircuts and barber services, straight-razor shaving, neck massage, shampoo services, and shoe polishing. Revenue is generated from grooming services provided to a broad base of individual customers. The seller reports no reliance on any major customer or contract. Customers include working professionals, students, local residents, and visitors.
Customer retention is central to the model. More than 90% of customers are reported to be recurring clients. The business emphasizes learning each customer's preferred haircut and style, appointment scheduling, and consistent service. Customer acquisition is supported through word of-mouth referrals, positive online reviews, Google, Yelp, street signage, and storefront visibility. The seller describes sales as stable and attributes that stability to marketing improvements. Financial records are maintained on an accrual basis by an external bookkeeper, and a recent Profit & Loss statement is available. The seller reports no PPP loans, EIDL loans, or other business debt. Qualified buyers may observe operations for up to five days during due diligence.
Operations are lean. The business has two working barbers, including the owner, plus one parttime employee and one independent contractor. The owner remains active in daily operations, working on-site every weekday, cutting hair, overseeing the business, and maintaining customer relationships. The seller believes key employees would be willing to remain following a sale.
Supplier relationships are limited, with no significant supplier dependencies disclosed. Operations center on appointment scheduling, personalized consultations, repeat service, and consistent execution.
The business operates Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. A business license is required, and individual barbers must hold their own barber licenses; individual barber licenses do not transfer with the sale.
Inventory included and described by the seller as used but in good condition. No vehicles are included. The business occupies approximately 550 square feet of leased retail space. The lease extends through August 2028 and includes renewal options reported as additional five-year terms. It is transferable to a qualified buyer without a reported transfer fee, subject to landlord approval and existing lease terms. Base rent is $1,108 per month, with CAM charges bringing total monthly occupancy cost to approximately $1,500.
Growth opportunities identified in the CIM include expanding marketing efforts and digital engagement, extending operating hours or staffing capacity, improving appointment management, and developing partnerships with nearby businesses. A new owner may also continue using existing channels including Google, Yelp, and word-of-mouth referrals to build on the established customer base.
The seller is retiring after more than two decades of ownership and is prepared to provide several months of post-closing transition assistance. Support includes customer introductions, operational training, market orientation, and knowledge transfer regarding daily operations.
This opportunity offers an established personal-services business with a simple operating structure, highly recurring customer base, long history, and disclosed avenues for continued customer acquisition. Serious, qualified buyers are invited to inquire through the broker-led process. Additional confidential information is available to qualified parties through the broker.
