Hanford Walnut
Company – FIRE SALE
Lucrative family
owned business, established in 1966, is announcing the retirement of
brothers Rick and Gary Doloyan, after 45 years of successful operations,
due to fire destroying our main warehouse on Oct. 16, 2011.
The Hanford Walnut
company, a subsidiary of Daloyan Distributing Co. Inc., is a seasonal
(Sept 1 - Dec 1) walnut
brokerage/receiving station, formerly located in Warehouses at 1026 E. Lacey Blvd.
in Hanford, CA, next to the Kings County Bowl. Another door opens
for the right family willing to relocate, in Kings county on E. Lacey Blvd.
Such a move and venture would
pay for itself in the 2012 season alone, with shell walnut prices
continuing at record high levels. However, there is room for
expansion to a six month operation which could include almonds and
pecans.
The warehouse is gone, but the
surviving business holdings, are in good to
excellent condition include: two International bobtail trucks; 22 and 16ft. flatbeds;
Hanford Walnut Company registered business name, or not; steel dual
2 ton
capacity walnut dryer with 5hp motor and new gas ignition controls
utilizing (2) 650
lb custom built steel forklift compatible drying bins (need painting) and
fans, this unit is very unique and portable via flat bed truck to any
receiving station; (about 10) 4x4x4 wooden bins and (21) raisin/walnut
Sun drying
bins; a fully operational, but collectible antique Wizard walnut huller
with estimated 4 ton daily capacity; 12x3x4ft electric sorting belt; custom steel small
lot sorting table; (10) steel/plastic buckets;
(about 15) wooden pallets/sweat boxes; a 2 inch heavy duty 20ft tow
chain; misc. tools; and (2) steel 8ft forklift extensions. A
forklift, county building rental, floor/table scales (1 each), natural
gas and electrical hookups, poly bags,
and a CA broker and weightmaster licensing, are the only requirements to
begin operations. |
