Share on Reddit Business Description
Established, high-volume liquor store with more than 16 years of consistent operating history under the current owner.
The business has generated approximately $1.1–$1.2 million in annual gross sales in recent years, with the last five years representing some of the strongest sales years in the business's history.
The store operates from an approximately 2,000-square-foot leased retail location with current monthly rent of approximately $2,325. The business carries an extensive and well-established product selection, with approximately $260,000 in inventory at cost. Inventory is included in the $750,000 asking price, subject to final inventory count at closing.
The business is currently owner-operated and has intentionally maintained a straightforward operating model.
There are several opportunities for a new owner to expand revenue, including extended operating hours, Sunday operations where permitted, additional staffing, expanded product categories, and further development of higher-margin items. These opportunities have intentionally not been fully pursued by the current owner.
This is an opportunity to acquire a long-established, operating liquor business with substantial existing sales volume, inventory, customer base, and infrastructure already in place.
Owner is selling after more than 16 successful years and is ready for early retirement.
