Established Liquor Store, $400K Sales + Distribution Permit

Listing Number: 76931-824015

Description

This well-established liquor store has operated in the same high-visibility location for over 20 years. It is deeply rooted in the local community, with a loyal customer base and strong repeat traffic. The store enjoys prominent frontage along a major road and is partnered with leading food and beverage delivery platforms. It also holds a local distribution permit, enabling sales to bars and restaurants in addition to retail.
The current owner has operated the business since 2018 and maintained strong performance until recently. After relocating several hours away, the owner has been unable to provide the level of attention the business requires, leading to a decline in performance.
In 2024, the store generated $398,695 in revenue with an SDE of $8,268. These financial results reflect the impact of absentee ownership rather than the store’s long-term potential. Notably, marketing spend in 2024 totaled just $106, and the business would benefit from a structured and consistent inventory management process. Current inventory is valued at approximately $120,000.
This is an excellent opportunity for a hands-on owner-operator or experienced retail professional to re-engage the customer base, optimize operations, and drive profitability. With a strong community presence, a strategic location, and the infrastructure in place for both retail and distribution, the store is well-positioned for growth under new ownership.
