I'm thinking about purchasing a Wise route for around 40k and that does include the vehicle. Everywhere I look the prices of these routes are a 100k more. Sales are 400000 a year and should net around 1600 a week. Is this to good to be true or am I just getting a great deal?

Why is it for sale? What are the numbers? with out knowing anything about the company why haven't other route drivers picked it up? and is wise a good product?

Id it looks to good to be true maybe it is... maybe its a diamond in the rough and just needs someone special to bring the route to its full potential..

All relevant things that must be considered. You talk to Pepperidge farm guys and most if not all started somewhere else.. I know a few have even worked for some really spotty outfits.. I would start talking to other route drivers and ask lots of questions.. someone will give you the straight answer!

What are your thoughts on buying a FedEx line haul route? Seems like these can be profitable and manageable, as long as you have good trucks and drivers. I have a route that's affordable for me and not too far from where I live.

Have a Flowers bread and cake route that I would like to sell. I have 2 years invested in it and want at least my money back, up front. After that, you would fill out the paperwork and continue the payments through Flowers. I have over $20,000 equity in the route right now.

We have BIMBO here in Mexico that I believe is the main headquarters for the company.... for what it's worth I am not that crazy about the quality compared to other US bread brands. I do buy US bread at the local Chain store mkt (stays fresh longer)
