Egg distribution business for sale - what are they?

Did you know there are entrepreneurs making a killing selling a single product? I have a friend who just distributes bananas, and he got so good at it that he started getting more and more referrals from customers where he is now on his third truck. Which brings me to this guide on buying an egg distribution business for sale!

For those that are searching for a simple -->  route for sale  that doesn't require much and is not complicated to operate, then stick around to learn more about this business model.

When the thought of an egg business crosses your mind, you may be thinking you will need a farm for chickens to grow and lay eggs organically and a packaging operation - Yeah, you dont need to think that deep.

But what if i said their is a simpler way, like letting those who raise chickens do that part and you  just distribute cases of eggs? No mess, no raising. Would that change your perception of the business?

Good! So, let's break down what exactly is an egg business for sale.

You basically  have two types of egg business models, the first one is like I mentioned above, which involves farm management and packaging, and the second model is buying the eggs at wholesale cost which are already packaged in cases of dozens or even the 100’s  and sell them directly to those who buy for businesses that cook, such as coffee shops and eateries, they cook alot and rather then buy by the dozen that purchase by the cases. These are going to be your ideal customers.

Now that you are starting to understand the business model better Let's talk more about the smaller model which involves strictly distribution. The business includes buying cases at a wholesale price and reselling them to businesses aka your customers. You can typically buy these cases of eggs from larger wholesalers or cash and carries, such as Restaurant Depot, but for egg distributors that have a direct source with farm and packagers, can most likely score a better deal if the your business has storage and is able to stock up in bulk rather than a load up only what will fit in your box truck that you need to distribute for the same day.

The egg business is a simple yet can also be a profitable operation, and for those who think it is too small of a business, think again. Selling eggs is just the entry point; you could always upsell and add more products down the line like more dairy products.

Let's explore some pros and cons of buying an egg delivery business for sale:

Are they close apart or miles apart? This can hurt the profit of your earnings when you are spending more on diesel getting there.
