Start-Up Description
This established and profitable hookah café is located in a prime retail plaza at the University of Rhode Island Emporium, benefiting from consistent foot traffic and a built-in student and local customer base. The business officially opened on November 17, 2025, and has already experienced rapid growth and increasing attention from both local residents and university students.

ASKING PRICE WITH EVERYTHING INCLUDED - $90,000

The space has been professionally built out and designed as a modern lounge environment, offering a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. All equipment, furnishings, hookah inventory, and operational systems are included in the sale, making this a true turnkey opportunity. The lease has approximately five years remaining and is fully transferable, providing long-term location security.
