Confidential: High-Growth Hemp Retail Store, Record October, Revenue +75% YoY, Chicago Metro
Not a typical Main Street business. New federal hemp limits, effective November 12, 2026 and December 11, 2026, will affect the product mix; details after NDA. October 2026 was the best month in the store's history: record gross sales of $80,318, net revenue of $71,413 (up 75% year over year) and EBITDA of $25,194. Net revenue for August to October 2026 was up 72% on the same months of 2025, and the store has been profitable every month of 2026, with EBITDA margin rising from 2% to 27.5% in four quarters. Seller's discretionary earnings for August to October 2026 annualize to $238,433; at $1,250,000 the price is 5.2x that run-rate. Trailing twelve months (November 2025 to October 2026): net revenue $646,205, EBITDA $107,453 and SDE $128,950, after documented owner add-backs (owner travel and auto, one-time packaging and subcontractor costs) and $3,830 of owner meals being confirmed. It has a 4.8-star Google profile from 153 reviews, a house brand that was 41% of September sales at about 70% gross margin, repeat buyers who drove about 70% of September revenue, rent of about 3% of revenue, Cova POS, an age-verified e-commerce storefront and a trained team of six. One of the owners leads the store day to day and draws no salary; SDE is stated for an owner-operator, so an absentee buyer should budget for a manager. The seller provides 30 to 60 days of transition support. Figures are owner-prepared and unaudited, from the bookkeeper's restated October 2026 package. Under federal law as enacted, a restriction on synthetic and converted cannabinoids is effective November 12, 2026, and a total-THC standard for finished products is effective December 11, 2026; together they reach substantially all current sales unless a postponement is enacted; buyers should evaluate the regulatory outlook independently. Asset sale at $1,250,000, all cash at closing; FF&E is included and compliant inventory is sold at cost at closing. The buyer signs a new lease with the landlord; lease terms and the full disclosure schedule are provided under NDA. This is a confidential listing: the store name, exact location, the confidential information memorandum and the data room are released to qualified buyers after a short NDA. Indications of interest are due Friday, November 20, 2026. The storefront, age-verification and e-commerce technology is available to license separately from Greenridge Technologies.
