đď¸ Specialty retail can be profitableâbut valuations unravel when:
- Revenue is seasonal, fad-driven, or overly dependent on the ownerâs brand
- Inventory is not itemized
- Addbacks include family payroll, personal subscriptions, or non-business travel
- CapEx for fixtures, displays, or tech is ignored
đ Being trendy isnât the same as being transferable.
