| How far apart are the 3 stores? I am sure you are already thinking of this but make sure you get some sort of protection from the other two locations actively soliciting the customer list that you are buying. Otherwise, it is worth a lot less. Either way, I personally would still be hesistant of buying 1 out of 3. If you keep the same name (and it is the same for all locations), whether your customers know it or not your brand reputation is tied into what the other owner does (which you also would have no control over).
