Description

A Diamond in the Rough, Just Waiting to be Polished!

McBride Stone Company, Inc., one of Independence and Izard Counties' longest-running rock and stone quarries, presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of history and continue a proud legacy. Established in 1948 by Oran McBride, this company has been family-run for generations, supplying stone for nearly every building in Arkansas and surrounding states. The chance to acquire McBride Stone is a unique honor, offering a blend of history and future potential.

The company operates two prime locations: a sandstone quarry and a black marble quarry. The primary site, encompassing 410 +/- acres, is located north of Batesville near Bethesda, overlooking the White River. This site boasts excellent logistics with the railroad cutting through the upper northwest corner, providing significant shipping potential. The second site, a saw shop, and additional quarry are near the community of Wideman in Izard County. This location includes 340 +/- acres with Quarry Road access just off Wideman Road. The Wideman quarry features multiple layers of greys, tans, and various other colors, with stone layers ranging from 2 to 10 feet thick, making exploration both fascinating and lucrative.

The sandstone and marble quarries are great investments, with minimal previous excavation, offering vast potential for future profits. The combined Independence and Izard County properties cover approximately 750 +/- acres, some with breathtaking views of the White River and excellent access. The Independence County property also includes a railway line, enhancing its logistical advantages.

Included in the sale is all the equipment necessary to run the operation, though some may require updating. Despite operating on a limited budget, the McBride family has managed to maintain profitability, hinting at the immense potential with new equipment and fresh management.

The family is ready to retire and pass on their legacy, including the McBride Stone Company, Inc. name. They will sell the company as-is and sign a non-compete agreement, ensuring no future competition. To aid the transition, the sellers are willing to help a new owner with everyday operations for a short period if needed.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own and operate a historic and profitable stone quarry business with vast untapped potential.  Seize the chance to polish this diamond and carry on the McBride legacy for generations to come!
