In this episode of Acquisitions Anonymous, hosts Heather Endresen, Bill D'Alessandro, Michael Girdley, Mills Snell, and special guest Chelsea Wood from Acquisition Lab take on a unique deal—a Harley-Davidson dealership listed at $8.6 million with $2.1 million in EBITDA.

They dig into the complexities of owning a franchise dealership, Harley-Davidson’s brand challenges with shifting demographics, and whether this iconic brand can attract younger generations or if it’s a risky buy in a declining market.
Key Highlights:
- Generational Shift & Brand Image: The team explores Harley’s struggle to maintain its appeal as younger generations show less interest in motorcycles, affecting dealership sales and longevity.
- Franchise Dealership Model: Michael explains the razor-and-blade model of franchise dealerships, where profits come more from service, parts, and financing rather than new bike sales.
- Buyer Beware: Chelsea warns about the risks for inexperienced buyers, emphasizing the importance of thorough due diligence and questioning why existing franchise owners haven’t picked up this dealership.
- Industry Dynamics: Bill highlights market shifts in power sports and discusses whether Harley-Davidson’s brand has long-term durability or is facing a “falling knife” situation as sales decline.
