Ā šļø Specialty retail can be profitableābut valuations unravel when:
- Revenue is seasonal, fad-driven, or overly dependent on the ownerās brand
- Inventory is not itemized
- Addbacks include family payroll, personal subscriptions, or non-business travel
- CapEx for fixtures, displays, or tech is ignored
š Being trendy isnāt the same as being transferable.
