Reason
A year-old sock brand past $1M in sales with profit still rising at 1.4x, but too new to show it will last.

Why it's interesting

  • TTM net profit $322K on $1.15M revenue (28%), verified against the seller's P&L, at a $450K ask (1.4x).
  • Q3 2026 profit of $107,286 annualizes to about $429K, so profit is still rising.
  • A Shopify store with multi-pack offers, described as easy to run.

What to watch

  • First sales were in October 2025, so there is no second year or seasonal history to compare.
  • Meta is the only paid channel, at about 49% of gross sales.
  • No owner salary is in the P&L, so a buyer who hires a manager would see lower profit.

Who it fits

A Meta-savvy DTC marketer who will run the store personally and can add a second channel.

Ask the seller

  1. How many hours a week does running the store take, and who handles customer service?
  2. What are return and repeat-purchase rates by month since launch?
  3. How has Meta cost per purchase moved from launch to Q3 2026?

Growth plays

  • Market the zip-up design to caregivers and older buyers who struggle to pull on standard compression socks, through senior-care and caregiver publications.
  • Pitch medical-supply and post-surgery recovery retailers, where hard-to-put-on compression is a likely pain point.
