Here is a chance to buy a high-volume, highly profitable private optometry practice in North Georgia, just minutes from Chattanooga, Tennessee. This well-established practice generated $1,292,623 in gross revenues in 2025 and $519,598 in owner discretionary net income, supported by consistent revenues, over 25,000 patient records, and a schedule booked out about three weeks. With a decent credit score and financial profile, a qualified buyer can obtain 100% bank financing to purchase the practice. As an added incentive, the practice owner also owns the building and will offer the buyer the option to lease or purchase it, securing the long-term home of your practice.
The practice’s home counties stand out on their own economic and livability merits. Niche.com gives Catoosa County an overall grade of A-, with an A for being good for families and A- marks for public schools, housing, health & fitness, and outdoor activities (Niche.com, Catoosa County, GA), while neighboring Walker County earns a #16-of-149 ranking among Georgia’s Best Counties for Outdoor Activities, with an A- grade in that category (Niche.com, Walker County, GA). Both counties are also seeing real capital investment: Walker County landed a $118 million GE Appliances/Roper Corporation expansion in LaFayette expected to add 600 jobs (Business Facilities Magazine, “Roper Corporation Creating 600 Jobs In Georgia”), and Catoosa County broke ground on the 1.13-million-square-foot Cloud Springs I-75 industrial park, a $100-million-plus project expected to create more than 700 jobs (Local 3 News, “Catoosa County celebrates groundbreaking of new industrial park”). That local momentum sits on top of a strong statewide business climate: Georgia has been named the #1 state for business for 12 consecutive years by Area Development Magazine, based on surveyed site-selection consultants’ views on workforce, permitting, and business-friendly policy (Area Development Magazine, via Rough Draft Atlanta, “Georgia tops list as best state for business”). The broader region is growing quickly too — a University of Tennessee at Chattanooga study found Dade, Walker, and Catoosa counties grew 2.8% from 2020 to 2025 as part of a metro area expanding more than twice the national rate overall, meaning a steadily growing local patient base (Local 3 News, “Chattanooga population growing more than double the national rate, study shows”). And for a buyer who’d rather live across the state line, Chattanooga itself — just minutes away — was named the first National Park City in the U.S. in 2025 and landed on Livability.com’s 2026 Top 100 Best Places to Live list, so that option is there without giving up proximity to the practice (AFAR, “This Southern Destination Just Became North America’s First National Park City”; Livability.com, “Chattanooga, TN”).
The practice operates from a 3,600 square foot standalone building on the ground floor with storefront frontage on a highly visible, high-traffic highway, with 18 dedicated off-street parking spaces and full ADA accessibility. The office was remodeled in 2024 and includes a 1,000 square foot optical showroom, 2 fully equipped exam rooms, a pretest area, an additional testing room, a separate contact lens room, an on-site finishing lab that fabricates about 95% of jobs in-house, an insurance and frame office, records and staff areas, 3 bathrooms, and a large attic for storage. The practice converted to EHR with computers networked throughout the office. Diagnostic technology includes OCT and visual field testing.
The practice has a very good reputation in the community, supported by many 5-star Google reviews, and a loyal patient base. It has over 25,000 patient records on file, including more than 13,000 active patients seen within the last two years, with about 98% of appointments booked ahead and a schedule booked out roughly three weeks. The office is open Monday through Friday plus Saturday mornings, with two optometrists recently seeing patients Monday through Friday, and patients are kept engaged through an email and text recall system. Growth opportunities are plentiful, including adding technicians to delegate exam tasks and free the OD to see more patients, converting the doctor’s office into a third exam lane, adding new technology and services such as ERG testing for diabetic patients, accepting more insurance plans, and advertising.
