Edible Vancouver Island
Food & Lifestyle Magazine FOR SALE

The Business

What happens when passion for local food culture meets a proven business model? You get Edible Vancouver Island — a thriving publication and digital platform that's ripe for its next chapter of growth.

CELEBRATING LOCAL CULINARY CULTURE

This isn't just another media business for sale. As part of the KEM Media Network, the Edible magazine is a vibrant community connector with a dedicated audience, established advertiser relationships, and the backing of a recognized national brand. As the current steward of this island institution, I've had the privilege of watching it flourish while maintaining its authentic voice and vision.

The Opportunity

Imagine stepping into a turn-key operation with:

  • A profitable magazine publishing 6 issues annually

  • Trusted brand recognition

  • 10,000-12,000 print circulation across the entire region

  • Exceptional digital platform plus well over 10,000 followers on social media

  • Established freelance team handling content creation

  • Veteran sales representatives with strong client relationships

  • Protected territory covering Vancouver Island & Gulf Islands

  • Part of the respected Edible Communities network

The business model blends traditional print advertising with digital marketing services—a diversification that's proven essential in today's media landscape. Current operations are streamlined for efficiency while maintaining quality that readers and advertisers have come to trust.

Beyond the Numbers

What makes this opportunity truly special isn't just the healthy bottom line (though that certainly matters). It's the relationships built with local farmers, chefs, winemakers, and food artisans who consider Edible Vancouver Island their authentic voice in the community.

Is there untapped potential? Absolutely. The foundation is solid for expanding into events, sponsored dinners, food tourism, and festivals—all complementary revenue streams that the current ownership hasn't had the bandwidth to fully develop.

This is an ideal acquisition for someone passionate about local food culture who brings fresh energy and vision while benefiting from established systems and reputation.
