Naturally Amish has signed a binding agreement to acquire the existing 3096 West Maumee Street property in Angola, Indiana, along with three additional parcels, for $3 million. The move expands the company's footprint from approximately 1.6 acres to approximately 4 acres and includes a Marathon gas station and Subway restaurant. The acquisition builds on Naturally Amish's 2025 announcement, issued through Simulated Environment Concepts, Inc. (OTC: SMEV), regarding plans to establish a sustainable-living retail location at the same address. That earlier announcement identified the property as an important interstate travel stop and gateway to Angola, part of Naturally Amish's developing direct-to-consumer strategy.
The decision to acquire the additional three parcels was strategic and intentional, according to the company. It gives Naturally Amish substantially more room to expand operations and allows it to accelerate development rather than being constrained by the original 1.6-acre footprint. The expanded site provides space for a planned coffee shop, Natural Deli, retail store, future restaurant, bakery, and additional Farm-to-Table operations. Once completed, Naturally Amish expects the acquisition to generate approximately $3 million in annual revenue starting in 2027, with the expanded property creating significant additional capacity for future growth.
"This acquisition gives us the foundation to take what we originally envisioned at 3096 West Maumee Street and build something much larger," said Noah Wagler, Co-Founder and CEO of Naturally Amish. "We selectively acquired the additional parcels because we didn't want to limit our growth. The additional acreage gives us the ability to expand much quicker and create a destination that can showcase everything Naturally Amish is building."
The acquisition has been supported by the strategic investment and business relationships of Menno Wagler, whose connections and long-term perspective have helped Naturally Amish identify opportunities that position the company for future growth. Rather than developing the initial 1.6-acre property and potentially finding itself boxed in and forced to relocate as the business grows, the company elected to acquire the additional parcels now. Management believes securing the approximately four-acre footprint at this stage gives Naturally Amish the flexibility to expand its operations over time without having to disrupt an established location or relocate its growing customer base.
"Menno has been instrumental in helping us think beyond the immediate opportunity and focus on where Naturally Amish needs to be five and ten years from now," Wagler said. "His strategic investment and relationships have helped us make moves today that can prevent us from having to make much more expensive moves tomorrow."
The transaction is binding, with the parties expecting to complete the final definitive agreement within approximately three months. Naturally Amish expects the initial development to begin with renovation of the existing facility immediately and launch in Q1 2027, followed by continued expansion of the approximately four-acre property throughout 2027. The company also expects to book revenues in Q4 of this year from this transaction. The deal is significant because it shifts Naturally Amish from a planned single-site retail location to a multi-acre destination with multiple revenue streams, positioning the company to capture interstate travel traffic and scale its vertically integrated Farm-to-Table platform. For a company focused on regenerative agriculture and ethical consumer practices, the Angola acquisition represents a tangible step toward building a flagship destination that can showcase its products and mission.
