With approximately $1.8 million in annual revenue, a lease secured through October 2032, and a team of 17 employees, Kelly's represents a rare opportunity to acquire an operating community institution at an attractive entry price.

The selling owner is retiring after seven years of building the business. The business is being offered at a price that reflects honest, current performance and positions the right buyer for strong returns as the operation continues its upward trajectory.
Fully equipped for deli and grocery operations — kitchen equipment, refrigeration, display, cases, and POS system in place.
Books and Records to be provided during due diligence.

Great Staff, Management Team, Owner Support and Free Training guarantees a flawless transition.
Kelly's Market & Deli is co-owned by a father-and-son team. The father is the founding owner and primary business principal, and is selling to retire. The son has managed day-to-day store operations — staffing, vendor relationships, inventory, and customer experience — and will be pursuing other business interests following the sale. Both owners are committed to a thorough and professional transition to support the new owner's success.
