About this business
This South Shore Suffolk County DSD (Direct-Store-Delivery) route provides a condensed 4.5-day schedule along dense retail corridors on Long Island.
Key Route Characteristics
- Operating Territory: South Shore of Suffolk County, NY (e.g., Babylon, Islip, Brookhaven townships)
- Target Accounts: Supermarkets, convenience stores, bagel shops, & local delis
- Schedule: 4.5-Day Workweek
- Product Line: Major national brand cakes, cookies, and packaged baked goods
- Financing: In-house or third-party seller financing options available for qualified buyers
Critical Valuation & Operational Analysis
- Dense Regional Route Logistics: Concentrating deliveries strictly along Suffolk County's South Shore limits total transit mileage compared to cross-county routes, keeping fuel and truck wear-and-tear overhead low.
- 4.5-Day Schedule Structure: The half-day typically covers mid-week store re-stocking or weekend prep. This offers strong lifestyle flexibility for retirees or semi-absentee owner-operators.
- Missing Core Financial Metrics: The listing omits the asking price, annual gross sales, and net cash flow (SDE). DSD snack routes generally trade between 1.5x and 2.5x net earnings or 15% to 22% of gross commission earnings.
- Corporate Authorization & Equipment: Confirm whether a delivery truck (e.g., box truck or step van) is included in the purchase price, and ensure the brand parent company (e.g., Pepperidge Farm, Bimbo, Flowers Foods) will re-assign exclusive distribution rights.
