Naturally Amish has signed a binding agreement to acquire the existing property at 3096 West Maumee Street in Angola, Indiana, along with three additional parcels, for $3 million. The deal expands the company's footprint from approximately 1.6 acres to approximately 4 acres and includes a Marathon gas station and a Subway restaurant. The acquisition builds on a 2025 announcement, issued through Simulated Environment Concepts, Inc. (OTC: SMEV), outlining plans for a sustainable-living retail location at the same address. According to the original announcement, the property was identified as an important interstate travel stop and gateway to Angola, forming part of Naturally Amish's direct-to-consumer strategy.
The decision to acquire the additional parcels was strategic and intentional, giving Naturally Amish more room to expand operations and accelerating development rather than constraining it within the original 1.6-acre footprint. The acquisition has been supported by strategic investment and business relationships of Menno Wagler, whose connections and long-term perspective helped Naturally Amish identify growth opportunities. Rather than developing the initial property and potentially being forced to relocate as the business grows, the company elected to secure the larger footprint now.
"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," said Noah Wagler, Co-Founder and CEO of Naturally Amish. "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 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," Wagler added. "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 transaction is binding, with the parties expecting to complete the final definitive agreement within approximately three months. Naturally Amish expects initial development to begin with renovation of the existing facility immediately and launch in the first quarter of 2027, followed by continued expansion of the approximately four-acre property throughout 2027. The company also expects to book revenues in the fourth quarter of this year from this transaction. More details are available through www.newmediawire.com.
The acquisition matters because it signals a shift from planning to execution for Naturally Amish's vertically integrated Farm-to-Table platform, which focuses on agricultural production, beef, food processing, consumer products, retail, and direct-to-consumer sales. By securing the additional land now, the company avoids future relocation costs and positions itself to capture interstate traffic at a key gateway. The projected $3 million in annual revenue starting in 2027, along with Q4 revenue from the transaction, provides a tangible financial outlook. For stakeholders, the move demonstrates a long-term growth strategy supported by strategic relationships and a commitment to sustainable, community-focused development.
