About RouteTycoon: RouteTycoon.com only sells routes that have provided extensive data and still show strong signs of profitability. Owners have provided some documentation of income before they’re even allowed to be listed. The routes listed here are very similar, as we like to only sell routes with a lot of positive attributes. 

FAQ: 

Q: Will the owner consider financing?

Due to the very low multiple (eg. the ratio between the asking price vs the net income) for this business, it’s being sold at a very competitive price and financing is not available at this time.

However, if your credit score is over 700 and you have $10,000 down, you may qualify for financing on this route. Please contact us if you’d like to learn more. 

Q: I’m new to routes. If I bought the route, is the stated net above what I’ll actually take home the first year if I just run the route myself with no employee?

Yes, route income changes slightly just like any business, but it’s a good estimate. It’s the route industry standard to show the routes net after all required and generally fixed/required expenses such as insurance, scanner rentals, terminal lease, etc. You should be generating cash flow as soon as you take over full operation of the business.  

Q: What sorts of startup/one time costs am I looking at on top of paying for the route(s)?

Any expenses you’d have if you bought a new truck. You will pay for property tax on the truck, registration and title fees on plates at the DMV (~$100). There’s no cost for training, no flying around to franchise corporation headquarters, or any other nonsense you’ll find with other businesses. Depending on your credit Mission may require a $5k deposit with them, however, this deposit isn’t really an expense as it’s fully refundable and not applicable to all buyers. No other food licenses, permits, truck refrigeration, or CDLs are required.

Q: Will the owner give any training?

Complete training. Between the employee and the owner knowing how this business works, you’ll find yourself up to speed in no time. If you bought the route, the seller will be committed to you succeeding by introducing you to the mechanics he’s used (although you can use whomever you’d like), introduce you to other helpful drivers, and also be training you on how to run the route yourself if you wanted. This is a very simple business and should only take a couple weeks to learn it completely.

Q: So if I have an employees running the route, I just sit back and let the cash come in?

Employees are allowed on Mission routes much more so than other types of bread routes making them favorable for a more hands off owner. However, do not be mislead to believe this is an absentee type of “sit back, relax, and make low risk income” business. This is a business that contracts through a billion dollar company to serve nationwide established clients and require a definite level of service. Most Mission route owners are operating the business themselves, and will use employees to help reduce their weekly work hours to something that fits their lifestyle (whether that’s you working 10 or 40 hours a week), but with a truly rewarding business takes true work as well. Investors will likely not be approved by Mission corporate for ownership. 

If you’re not afraid of doing some work servicing clients that are already established, this business can be extremely lucrative. 

Q: Is there potential to buy more routes?

There are likely to be other routes in different areas that will open up over the next year or two due to contractors changing professions, moving and or retiring.

Q: Tell me about the route itself and where exactly it goes.

The route is mostly in Kyle but travels around the area as well. Full details on all the customers will be provided upon signing an NDA. 

Q: How long does it take to run the route? What are the hours?

About 40 hours a week. The hours are flexible and determined somewhat by you as long as the businesses are being stocked full of the products we’re bringing to them. Typically, routes like this start off around 4am and end around 10am-2pm depending on the day. This is a high income producing route with highly successful stores in the territory that require the route to run 7 days a week, but certain days take much less time to complete than others. Some days are only a few hours long, but most all days start in the early morning.

Q: Have routes been pulled/taken away from contractors before?

Only in extreme cases where the contractor had made violent threats, refuses to service the area he’s contracted to and other completely insane things. It’s extremely rare, but on occasion people have gone nuts for whatever reason and lost their route. Mission usually warns the contractor long before disciplinary action will be taken.

Q: Will I need a lawyer or accountant to do this?

Technically you don’t need a lawyer, but for many transfers it’s encouraged to use one, especially if there are contingencies beyond the transfer – only you can make the determination to utilize a lawyer or not. Route transfers are usually simple, and this is one good thing about having a huge corporation (Gruma / Mission Foods) behind the transaction since this isn’t like another business where only you and the seller are involved. Mission corporate structure makes sure the transfer of route contracts is done easily and smoothly. The business changes hands by a route transfer form given to management, it takes them a couple weeks and then the income flips to your name. You could get a lawyer if you deem appropriate for your situation, but it’s not required and I’ve seen other people use them much to their dismay when they delay the sale of the route and also eat you with fees. I highly recommend an accountant at first to help with year-end payroll and business taxes.

Q: If I am ready to buy today, how long would it take to start getting the paychecks?

You need to pass a background check and have your credit approved. The fully process takes about 2-4 weeks total. 

Q: I have all the money and I’m ready to get started! What next?

Excellent. Email – Support@RouteTycoon.com or go to the contact me page and mention you’re interested in the route. Leave your number and someone should get back with you as soon as possible (usually 24-48 hours). I’ll be able to get you a lot more info on this route, introduce you to the owner, and if it looks like a great fit, we’ll even have you ride-along with the owner to make sure you love this business and “try it out” before you buy it.

Austin TX Bimbo Route for sale 99k 

Status: SOLD 
Asking: $99,000
Down Payment: $49,000
Net From Company: $69,000
Late model box truck included! Est value of $30k alone!
Location: North Austin, TX

Route is a hot growing area! Great for an active owner or owner / operator! 

Incredible opportunity to get an established, highly profitable, easy to run, Bimbo Bakeries route. Excellent for first time route buyers that want to actively run a route and let the business continue to grow!

Less than 40 miles round trip, great condition truck included, solid income producing Bimbo route! Bimbo will even give you a $37,000 loan to help you acquire this route!

There are 3 types of income “nets” in routes for owner/operators:
1) $69,000 – This is the net payout from Bimbo itself. This is AFTER expenses like insurance, scanner rentals, warehouse leases, and deposits but BEFORE any of your 3 varying expenses (gas, maintenance, employees).

2) $64,000 – This is the net if you were an owner/operator working on the route after projected gas/maintenance expense, which are fairly low due to the excellent condition truck included as well as low amount of miles driven to complete the route.

3) $27,600 – This is the net if you were to have an average paid full time employee taking care of the day to day to tasks. You own the route and the business, so employee possibilities are plentiful. You can pay someone much less to work the route with you (so every day is an easy day), or you can pay someone part time so you can have the weekends off completely, and so on.

There is an employee on this route currently running this route. He will stay if desired, or you can take over and run the route yourself to make a larger income. In the current situation, the owner helps out here and there and basically makes sure the employee is doing his job by checking in on the stores to make sure the shelves are full of product.

Who is Bimbo:
Bimbo Bakeries is the bakery behemoth and has created an established, dominating, and growing brand of breads. There are over 7,000 routes under this company, each with their own exclusive and protected territory! Bimbo owns multiple product lines to keep their presence dominant. The brands they own and distribute are currently: Bimbo Bread, Sara Lee, Boboli Pizza Crust, Mrs Bairds, Orowheat, Old Country, Weber’s, Francisco, Tia Rosa, Entenmann’s Snacks, and Marinela! 

There are thousands of distributors across the US and only a very small percentage is ever for sale due to extremely low turnover for contractors.

Own an entire territory that is still continuing to grow in the highly acclaimed city of Austin.

This is a great situation where the route:
a) Is NOT distressed
b) Is great for a new owner/operator since it’s not overwhelmed like many routes
c) Has territory in parts of the hottest growing areas of Austin
d) Is dominating the competition
e) Provides over 100 different products and several brands to supermarkets to stabilize income
f) Puts less than 40 miles a day on average on the truck
g) Takes the owner less than 40 hours a week with help from his part time helper

There’s other routes out there for sure. But you’re unlikely to find one that is going to be as headache free as this one.

FAQ: 

Q: Will the owner consider financing?

Yes! Not only is Bimbo willing to finance the route with approved credit, the owner knows this is a solid route and finance some of the purchase price as well. Depending upon your credit and prior business experience, you may only need to come to the table with 50% down! If your credit is excellent, you may be able to have the entire route financed through an outside lending source. Click here for more info. 

Q: I’m new to routes. Is this hard to learn? And is the $64k net what I’ll actually take home the first year if I run the route entirely on my own?

The owner will teach you everything about this route to be able to run it with ease. Routes become repetitive and routine very quickly. As for the money you’ll make, the $64k is a good estimate of the amount you’ll take home after known and expected expenses. It may be more as the route grows from the population growth of the area simply creating more demand, or it may be less if you decide to hire a helper to keep your hours low.

Q: What sorts of startup/one time costs am I looking at on top of paying the $99,000?

Any expenses you’d have if you bought a new truck. You will pay for property tax on the truck, registration and title fees on plates at the DMV (~$100). There’s no cost for training, no flying around to franchise corporation headquarters, or any other nonsense you’ll find with other businesses.

Q: Will the owner give any training?

Complete training. When you buy the route, the seller will be committed to you succeeding by introducing you to the mechanics he’s used (although you can use whomever you’d like), introduce you to other helpful drivers, and also be training you on how to run the route by yourself or with a helper if you wanted. This is a very simple business and should only take a couple weeks to learn it completely.

Q: Is there potential to buy more routes?

Contractors for Bimbo Bakeries can only own one route in their name. While sometimes there are husband and wife teams, or business partner teams used to acquire more routes, it’s a general rule of thumb that most contractors basically are only owning one or possibly two routes.

Q: Tell me about the route itself and where exactly it goes.

The route goes to the central Austin area and drives less than 40 miles a day round trip on average. It goes to large grocery stores like HEB and several convenience stores and chain restaurants.

Q: How long does it take to run the route? What are the hours?

The hours are flexible and determined somewhat by you as long as the businesses are being stocked full of the products we’re bringing to them. Typically, all routes like this start off around 4am and end around 10am-2pm depending on the day. This is a high income producing route with highly successful stores in the territory that require the route to run 7 days a week, but certain days take much less time to complete than others.

Q: Have routes been pulled/taken away from contractors before?

Only in extreme cases where the contractor had made violent threats, refuses to service the area he’s contracted to and other completely insane things. It’s extremely rare, but on occasion people have gone nuts for whatever reason and lost their route. Bimbo Bakeries usually warns the contractor long before disciplinary action will be taken.

Q: Is this a sales position? 

Absolutely not. There are no competing Bimbo route owners that can swoop in and steal your customers. You have a contractually and legally protected territory. You are not convincing, negotiating, or haggling with prices on anything, as these issues are already set in Bimbo corporate policy. Your job is simply to make sure the stores have product available to sell by replenishing the shelves daily.

Q: Will I need a lawyer or accountant to do this?

Technically you don’t need a lawyer, but for many transfers it’s encouraged to use one, especially if there are contingencies beyond the transfer – only you can make the determination to utilize a lawyer or not. Route transfers are usually simple, and this is one good thing about having a huge corporation (Bimbo Bakeries) behind the transaction since this isn’t like another business where only you and the seller are involved. Bimbo corporate structure makes sure the transfer of route contracts is done easily and smoothly. The business changes hands by a route transfer form given to management, it takes them a couple weeks and then the income flips to your name. You could get a lawyer, but it’s not necessary and I’ve seen other people use them much to their dismay when they delay the sale of the route and also eat you with fees. I recommend an accountant at first to help with year-end payroll and the seller will help get you established with monthly and quarterly payroll if needed.

Q: If I am ready to buy today, how long would it take to start getting the paychecks?

You need to pass a background check and have your credit approved. That takes about 2 weeks total. So if you’re interested in getting involved in the profitable world of routes just email me any questions you have and I’ll answer them as soon as possible (usually 24-48 hours). Also leave your phone number. Please, only email me if you have at least $50k cash already available for a business like this. I know a lot of people get their first route by taking out a loans on their home, or find relatives to finance them.

Q: I have all the money and I’m ready to get started! What next?

Excellent. Email – Support@RouteTycoon.com or go to the contact me page and mention you’re interested in the route. Leave your number and someone should get back with you as soon as possible (usually 24-48 hours)

About RouteTycoon: RouteTycoon.com only sells routes that have provided extensive data and still show strong signs of profitability. Owners have provided some documentation of income before they’re even allowed to be listed.

FAQ: 

Q: Will the owner consider financing?

Yes! The owner will considering financing for full price offers with only the required amount for a down payment (stated at the top of the page). He needs the money from the sale of this business for another even larger business venture with his partners. This is the only reason he’s selling. There are financing options for generally 50-100k though that RouteTycoon has partnered with. If this is all you would need AND your credit is excellent, please contact me to discuss.

Q: I’m new to routes. If I bought the route, is the stated net above what I’ll actually take home the first year if I just run the route myself with no employee?

Yes, route income changes slightly just like any business, but it’s a good estimate. It’s the route industry standard to show the routes net after all required and generally fixed/required expenses such as insurance, scanner rentals, terminal lease, etc. You’ll make money as soon as you take over the business.  

Q: What sorts of startup/one time costs am I looking at on top of paying for the route(s)?

Any expenses you’d have if you bought a new truck. You will pay for property tax on the truck, registration and title fees on plates at the DMV (~$100).

Q: So if I have an employees running the route, I just sit back and let the cash come in?

If you have keep reliable employees, and didn’t mind the expense of an employee, then yes, you don’t need to come into the terminal often. You’ll probably still be needed occasionally for random things, so it’s best to consider it as semi-absentee owner as opposed to fully absentee.

Fully absentee Mission Routes are possible, but I recommend any business owner knowing and understanding the business fully before doing this, and I highly recommend being local to the terminal for a while before trying to create this sort of organizational structure. Contact me to discuss this possibility. You still need to learn the business yourself at first, which requires time for the first 2-3 months before you can reasonably step back fully.

Q: Is there potential to buy more routes?

There are likely to be other routes in the same area that will open up over the next year or two due to contractors changing professions, moving and or retiring.

The route goes to the Northern central Austin area and drives less than 40 miles a day round trip on average. It goes to large grocery stores like HEB and others.

Q: How long does it take to run the route? What are the hours?

FAQ:

No owner financing is available. Owner wants to stay in the Mission family, and simply acquire a route that has territory closer to his home. This is the only reason he’s selling. There are financing options for generally 50-100k though that RouteTycoon has partnered with. If this is all you would need AND your credit is excellent, please contact me to discuss.

Q: I’m new to routes. If I bought the route, is the estimated stated net above what I’ll actually take home the first year if I just run the route myself with no employee?

Yes, however route incomes can change just like any business. Business ownership has inherent risks, but the claimed income from the seller is expected to be a good estimate based on current conditions. It’s the route industry standard to show the routes net after all required and generally fixed/required expenses such as insurance, scanner rentals, terminal lease, etc. You’re expected to make money as soon as you take over the business.  

Q: What sorts of startup/one time costs am I looking at on top of paying for the route(s)?

No other food licenses, permits, or CDLs are required.

Q: Will the owner give any training?

Complete training. These businesses are wonderfully simplistic and you’ll find yourself up to speed in no time. If you bought the route, the seller will be committed to you succeeding by introducing you to the mechanics he’s used (although you can use whomever you’d like), introduce you to other helpful drivers, and also be training you on how to run the route.

The route goes to the Northwest Austin area and drives less than 75 miles a day round trip on average. It goes to large grocery stores like HEB and others.

Q: How long does it take to run the route? What are the hours?

About 45-50 hours a week. The hours are flexible and determined somewhat by you based on your own skill/speed/efficiency, as long as the businesses are being stocked full of the products we’re bringing to them. Typically, routes like this start off around 4am and end around 10am-2pm depending on the day. This is a high income producing route with highly successful stores in the territory that require the route to run 7 days a week, but certain days take much less time to complete than others. Some days are only a few hours long, but most all days start in the early morning. You can hire people to reduce your hours without cutting severely into your profitability. 

Q: Have routes been pulled/taken away from contractors before?

Only in extreme cases where the contractor had made violent threats, refuses to service the area he’s contracted to and other completely insane things. It’s rare, but on occasion people have gone nuts for whatever reason and lost their route. Mission usually warns the contractor long before disciplinary action will be taken. This business takes time/effort/skill on your part to continue to fulfill your contractual duties.

Q: Will I need a lawyer or accountant to do this?

Technically you don’t need a lawyer, but for many transfers it’s encouraged to use one, especially if there are contingencies beyond the transfer – only you can make the determination to utilize a lawyer or not.

I highly recommend an accountant at first to help with year-end payroll (if you use an W2 or 1099 employee to help).

Austin TX Snyder’s-Lance Route for sale 114k 

Status: SOLD 
Asking: $114,000
Down Payment: $31,500
Net: $35,000 and growing fast
Location: South Austin / San Marcos, TX 

Route is growing fast! Great for an active or owner operator!

Incredible opportunity to get an established, profitable and growing, easy to run route. Excellent for first time route buyers that want to actively run a route and let the business continue to grow!

There are different types of income “nets” in routes for owner/operators:
1) $41,426 – This is the net payout from the route company itself.
2) $35,446 – This is the net if you were an owner/operator working on the route after projected gas/maintenance expense.

Who is Snyders Lance:
They are the bakery behemoth and has created an established, dominating, and growing brand of snacks. Each routes with their own exclusive and protected territory! Snyders-Lance owns multiple product lines to keep their presence dominant. The brands they own and distribute are currently: Snyders, Lance, Cape Cod, Toms, Jays, Archway Cookies, Stella Doro, and more.

There are thousands of distributors across the US and only a very small percentage is ever for sale due to extremely low turnover for contractors.

Own an entire territory that is still continuing to grow right outside the highly acclaimed city of Austin.

This is a great situation where the route:
a) Is NOT distressed and rapidly growing
b) Is great for a new owner/operator since it’s not overwhelmed like many routes. 
c) Can be run from just a trailer hitched onto your current vehicle
d) Route can (and is being) run at 8am or later – No middle of the night workdays! 
e) Provides numerous different products and several brands to supermarkets to stabilize income
f) Puts less than 50 miles a day on average on the truck
g) Takes the owner less than 35 hours a week without any extra help at all.

There’s other routes out there for sure. But you’re unlikely to find one that is going to be as headache free as this one.

FAQ: 

Q: Will the owner consider financing?

Yes! Not only is the company to finance the route with approved credit, the owner knows this is a solid route and finance some of the purchase price as well. If your credit is excellent, you may be able to have the entire route financed through an outside lending source. Click here for more info. 

Q: I’m new to routes. Is this hard to learn? And is the stated net above what I’ll actually take home the first year if I run the route entirely on my own?

The owner will teach you everything about this route to be able to run it with ease. Routes become repetitive and routine very quickly. As for the money you’ll make, the above stated amount is a good estimate of the amount you’ll take home after known and expected expenses. It may be more as the route grows from the population growth of the area simply creating more demand.

Q: What sorts of startup/one time costs am I looking at on top of paying the asking price?

If you use your current pickup truck to hitch the trailer to (trailers usually cost around $2-4k depending on availability), then there shouldn’t be any additional expenses initial expenses beyond the vehicle and setting up an LLC (usually $200-$300). You can also rent a box truck from the company as well. There’s no cost for training, no flying around to franchise corporation headquarters, or any other nonsense you’ll find with other businesses.

Q: Will the owner give any training?

Complete training. When you buy the route, the seller will be committed to you succeeding by introducing you to the mechanics he’s used (although you can use whomever you’d like), introduce you to other helpful drivers, and also facilitate you being trained on how to run the route by yourself or with a helper if you wanted. This is a very simple business and should only take a couple weeks to learn it completely.

Q: Is there potential to buy more routes?

Contractors for this company can only own one route in their name. While sometimes there are husband and wife teams, or business partner teams used to acquire more routes, it’s a general rule of thumb that most contractors basically are only owning one or possibly two routes.

Q: Tell me about the route itself and where exactly it goes.

The route goes to the south Austin, San Marcos, Buda, and Lockhart area and drives less than 50 miles a day round trip on average. It goes to large grocery stores like HEB and several convenience stores and chain restaurants.

Q: How long does it take to run the route? What are the hours?

The hours are flexible and determined somewhat by you as long as the businesses are being stocked full of the products we’re bringing to them. Unlike many bread/snack routes that have to start out at 4am, this one can start at 7-8am and finishes around 1-3pm. This is a solid, stable income producing route with highly successful stores in the territory that require the route to run 7 days a week, but certain days take much less time to complete than others.

Q: Have routes been pulled/taken away from contractors before?

Only in extreme cases where the contractor had made violent threats, refuses to service the area he’s contracted to and other completely insane things. It’s extremely rare, but on occasion people have gone nuts for whatever reason and lost their route. Unless there is a service refusal from the contractor, there are usually ample warnings long before disciplinary action will be taken.

Q: Is this a sales position? 

Absolutely not. There are no competing route owners that can swoop in and steal your customers. You have a contractually and legally protected territory. You are not convincing, negotiating, or haggling with prices on anything, as these issues are already set in the corporate policy. Your job is simply to make sure the stores have product available to sell by replenishing the shelves daily.

Q : Will I need a lawyer or accountant to do this?

Technically you don’t need a lawyer, but for many transfers it’s encouraged to use one, especially if there are contingencies beyond the transfer – only you can make the determination to utilize a lawyer or not. Route transfers are usually simple, and this is one good thing about having a huge corporation behind the transaction since this isn’t like another business where only you and the seller are involved. The corporate structure makes sure the transfer of route contracts is done easily and smoothly. The business changes hands by a route transfer form given to management, it takes them a couple weeks and then the income flips to your name. You could get a lawyer, but it’s not necessary and I’ve seen other people use them much to their dismay when they delay the sale of the route and also eat you with fees. I recommend an accountant at first to help with year-end write offs and such though.

Q: If I am ready to buy today, how long would it take to start getting the paychecks?

You need to pass a background check and have your credit approved. That takes about 2 weeks total. So if you’re interested in getting involved in the profitable world of routes just email me any questions you have and I’ll answer them as soon as possible (usually 24-48 hours). Also leave your phone number. Please, only email me if you have at least $31,500 cash already available for a business like this. I know a lot of people get their first route by taking out a loans on their home, or find relatives to finance them.

Q: I have all the money and I’m ready to get started! What next?

Excellent. Email – Support@RouteTycoon.com or go to the contact me page and mention you’re interested in the route. Leave your number and someone should get back with you as soon as possible (usually 24-48 hours)

Q: I’m new to routes. Is this hard to learn? And is the stated net above what I’ll actually take home the first year if I run the route entirely on my own?

It may be more as the route grows from the population growth of the area simply creating more demand.

Q: What sorts of startup/one time costs am I looking at on top of paying the down payment?

You would need to purchase a trailer for a truck or lease a box truck. You can save money by buying a trailer, but some prefer a full size box truck (no CDL required). It’s up to you and you can also lease a truck through the company. There’s no cost for training, no flying around to franchise corporation headquarters, or any other nonsense you’ll find with other businesses.

Q: Will the owner give any training?

Complete training. When you buy the route, the seller will be committed to you succeeding by introducing you to the mechanics he’s used (although you can use whomever you’d like), introduce you to other helpful drivers, and also be training you on how to run the route by yourself or with a helper if you wanted.

Q: Tell me about the route itself and where exactly it goes.

The main city listed above are the areas it primarily goes, but the territory spans a little further than that as well, giving lots of room to grab more business as the city grows. It goes to large grocery stores, several convenience stores, and restaurants.

Q: How long does it take to run the route? What are the hours?

The hours are flexible and determined somewhat by you as long as the businesses are being stocked full of the products we’re bringing to them. Typically, all routes like this start off around 4am and end around 10am-2pm depending on the day. This is a high income producing route with highly successful stores in the territory that require the route to run 7 days a week, but certain days take much less time to complete than others. If you pay for helpers, you can create your own schedule and lower your hours worked.

Q: Have routes been pulled/taken away from contractors before?

Only in extreme cases where the contractor had made violent threats, refuses to service the area, and other completely insane things. It’s extremely rare, but on occasion people have gone nuts for whatever reason and lost their route. The company usually warns the contractor long before disciplinary action will be taken.

About RouteTycoon: RouteTycoon.com only sells routes that have provided extensive data and still show strong signs of profitability. Owners have provided some documentation of income before they’re even allowed to be listed. Buyers must always perform their own due diligence, and is greatly encouraged, but we hope to eliminate some of the terribly misrepresented routes that are commonly advertised by other sources.

FAQ: 

Q: Will the owner consider financing?

No owner financing is available. Owner has had this route for many years and has carved out the perfect territory over the years with this route. There are financing options for generally 50-100k though that RouteTycoon has partnered with. If this is all you would need AND your credit is excellent, please contact me to discuss.

Q: I’m new to routes. If I bought the route, is the estimated stated net above what I’ll actually take home the first year if I just run the route myself with no employee?

Yes, however route incomes can change just like any business. Business ownership has inherent risks, but the claimed income from the seller is expected to be a good estimate based on current conditions. It’s the route industry standard to show the routes net after all required and generally fixed/required expenses such as insurance, scanner rentals, terminal lease, etc. You’re expected to make money as soon as you take over the business.  

Q: What sorts of startup/one time costs am I looking at on top of paying for the route(s)?

Any expenses you’d have if you bought a new truck. You will pay for property tax on the truck, registration and title fees on plates at the DMV (~$100). There’s no cost for training, no flying around to franchise corporation headquarters, or any other nonsense you’ll find with other businesses. Depending on your credit Mission may require a $5k deposit with them, however, this deposit isn’t really an expense as it’s fully refundable and not applicable to all buyers. No other food licenses, permits, or CDLs are required.

Q: Will the owner give any training?

Complete training. These businesses are wonderfully simplistic and you’ll find yourself up to speed in no time. If you bought the route, the seller will be committed to you succeeding by introducing you to the mechanics he’s used (although you can use whomever you’d like), introduce you to other helpful drivers, and also be training you on how to run the route. This is a very simple business and should only take a couple weeks to learn it completely.

Q: Is there potential to buy more routes?

There are likely to be other routes in the same area that will open up over the next year or two due to contractors changing professions, moving and or retiring.

Q: Tell me about the route itself and where exactly it goes.

The route goes to the North Central Austin area and drives less than 50 miles a day round trip on average. It goes to large grocery stores like HEB and others.

Q: How long does it take to run the route? What are the hours?

About 30 hours a week. Remember typical mission routes can take 40-60 hours a week. The hours are flexible and determined somewhat by you based on your own skill/speed/efficiency, as long as the businesses are being stocked full of the products we’re bringing to them. Typically, routes like this start off around 4am and end around 10am-2pm depending on the day. This is a high income producing route with highly successful stores in the territory that require the route to run 7 days a week, but certain days take much less time to complete than others. Some days are only a few hours long, but most all days start in the early morning.

Q: Have routes been pulled/taken away from contractors before?

Only in extreme cases where the contractor had made violent threats, refuses to service the area he’s contracted to and other completely insane things. It’s rare, but on occasion people have gone nuts for whatever reason and lost their route. Mission usually warns the contractor long before disciplinary action will be taken. This business takes time/effort/skill on your part to continue to fulfill your contractual duties.

Q: Will I need a lawyer or accountant to do this?

Technically you don’t need a lawyer, but for many transfers it’s encouraged to use one, especially if there are contingencies beyond the transfer – only you can make the determination to utilize a lawyer or not. Route transfers are usually simple, and this is one good thing about having a huge corporation (Gruma / Mission Foods) behind the transaction since this isn’t like another business where only you and the seller are involved. Mission corporate structure makes sure the transfer of route contracts is done easily and smoothly. The business changes hands by a route transfer form given to management, it takes them a couple weeks and then the income flips to your name. You could get a lawyer if you deem appropriate for your situation, but it’s not required and I’ve seen other people use them much to their dismay when they delay the sale of the route and also eat you with fees. I highly recommend an accountant at first to help with year-end payroll (if you use an W2 or 1099 employee to help).

Q: If I am ready to buy today, how long would it take to start getting the paychecks?

You need to pass a background check and have your credit approved. The fully process takes about 4-8 weeks total. So if you’re interested, email me any questions you have and I’ll answer them as soon as possible (usually 24-48 hours). Also leave your phone number. Please only email us if you have the cash already available for a business like this. I know a lot of people get their first route by taking out a loans on their home, or find relatives to finance them.

Q: I have all the money and I’m ready to get started! What next?

Q: What sorts of startup/one time costs am I looking at on top of paying for the route(s)?

Any expenses you’d have if you bought a new truck. You will pay for property tax on the truck, registration and title fees on plates at the DMV (~$100). There’s no cost for training, no flying around to franchise corporation headquarters, or any other nonsense you’ll find with other businesses. Depending on your credit Mission may require a $5k deposit with them, however, this deposit isn’t really an expense as it’s fully refundable and not applicable to all buyers. No other food licenses, permits, or CDLs are required.

Q: Will the owner give any training?

Complete training. These businesses are wonderfully simplistic and you’ll find yourself up to speed in no time. If you bought the route, the seller will be committed to you succeeding by introducing you to the mechanics he’s used (although you can use whomever you’d like), introduce you to other helpful drivers, and also be training you on how to run the route. This is a very simple business and should only take a couple weeks to learn it completely.

Q: Is there potential to buy more routes?

There are likely to be other routes in the same area that will open up over the next year or two due to contractors changing professions, moving and or retiring.

Q: Tell me about the route itself and where exactly it goes.

The route goes to the South Austin area and drives less than 50 miles a day round trip on average. It goes to large grocery stores like HEB and others.

Q: How long does it take to run the route? What are the hours?

About 45 hours a week. The hours are flexible and determined somewhat by you based on your own skill/speed/efficiency, as long as the businesses are being stocked full of the products we’re bringing to them. Typically, routes like this start off around 4am and end around 10am-2pm depending on the day. This is a high income producing route with highly successful stores in the territory that require the route to run 7 days a week, but certain days take much less time to complete than others. Some days are only a few hours long, but most all days start in the early morning.

Q: Have routes been pulled/taken away from contractors before?

Only in extreme cases where the contractor had made violent threats, refuses to service the area he’s contracted to and other completely insane things. It’s rare, but on occasion people have gone nuts for whatever reason and lost their route. Mission usually warns the contractor long before disciplinary action will be taken. This business takes time/effort/skill on your part to continue to fulfill your contractual duties.

Q: Will I need a lawyer or accountant to do this?

Technically you don’t need a lawyer, but for many transfers it’s encouraged to use one, especially if there are contingencies beyond the transfer – only you can make the determination to utilize a lawyer or not. Route transfers are usually simple, and this is one good thing about having a huge corporation (Gruma / Mission Foods) behind the transaction since this isn’t like another business where only you and the seller are involved. Mission corporate structure makes sure the transfer of route contracts is done easily and smoothly. The business changes hands by a route transfer form given to management, it takes them a couple weeks and then the income flips to your name. You could get a lawyer if you deem appropriate for your situation, but it’s not required and I’ve seen other people use them much to their dismay when they delay the sale of the route and also eat you with fees. I highly recommend an accountant at first to help with year-end payroll (if you use an W2 or 1099 employee to help).

Q: If I am ready to buy today, how long would it take to start getting the paychecks?

You need to pass a background check and have your credit approved. The fully process takes about 2-4 weeks total. So if you’re interested, email me any questions you have and I’ll answer them as soon as possible (usually 24-48 hours). Also leave your phone number. Please only email us if you have the cash already available for a business like this. I know a lot of people get their first route by taking out a loans on their home, or find relatives to finance them.

Q: I have all the money and I’m ready to get started! What next?

Excellent. Email – Support@RouteTycoon.com or go to the contact me page and mention you’re interested in the route. Leave your number and someone should get back with you as soon as possible (usually 24-48 hours)
