2505 S 1450 Pass, Rich Hill, MO 64779 - Vernon County

Whether it’s Traeger, Pit Boss, recteq, or another brand, pellet smokers have become all the rage with barbecue enthusiasts, and demand for premium wood pellets is strong. Your opportunity to capitalize on this booming outdoor cooking industry is here, with the sale of Branch Creek Wood Pellets manufacturing facility. Branch Creek Wood Pellets makes cooking pellets from all types of popular wood flavors: hickory, mesquite, cherry, pecan, apple, oak, and hedge. Due to other business interest demands, the owners of Branch Creek have been operating the pellet mill at about 50% production. At full production capacity, new owners of this facility should be able to realize a cap rate at or above 10%, and owners who operate the mill themselves could realize figures that are even more impressive.

This turn-key business sale includes an extensive list of equipment needed to produce this high-demand product, including fork lifts, loaders, pellet mill, mixers, baggers, trailers, and more. The mill is wired for 440V, 3-phase power to operate the heavy duty motors and equipment required to convert wood mulch into a ready to sell cooking pellet. The main building provides approximately 3,640 sq. ft. under roof, with a concrete floor. In addition, a couple of lean-tos attached to the main building provide extra covered storage for equipment, supplies, and inventory. A climate-controlled office area and half bath are located right off the production floor.

This business is located right along Interstate 49, about 1 hour south of Kansas City, with highway access just 1/2 mile from the property. Missouri Department of Transportation figures indicate average traffic counts of just under 12,000 vehicles per day, meaning plenty of public exposure to the brand. On top of the pellet mill income, billboard rental offers an additional income stream. A full list of equipment and financial statements is available upon request.

This property has a lot of potential for the business investor. If you’d like to know more about it, or if you’d like to schedule an appointment to see it, call Land Agent Scott Sudkamp at (417) 321-5427 today.
