Miami Beach C-Store: Beer, Wine, Tobacco & Vape, Parking, 5-Yr Lease
Asset Sale Description
Established, fully licensed and fully stocked neighborhood convenience store in Miami Beach, offered as an asset sale with a five-year lease term and dedicated on-site parking. Acquire an entitled, equipped and trading location instead of building one from an empty bay.
LICENSES AND ENTITLEMENTS
The store holds an active City Certificate of Use and Business Tax Receipt covering retail tobacco, e-cigarette/vape and CBD; off-premises package beer and wine; one indoor ATM; and food and general merchandise. It also operates as a Florida Lottery retailer. Miami Beach has moved to prohibit new tobacco and vape retailers in parts of the city, so an established location already entitled for these uses is difficult, and in some areas impossible, for a new storefront to replicate. For convenience store operators and smoke shop buyers alike, the license position is the core of the value.
LOCATION AND CUSTOMERS
The store sits in an established shopping plaza in a high-traffic Miami Beach neighborhood. It draws two complementary customer bases: year-round residents who shop on foot, and Miami Beach's steady visitor and seasonal traffic. Dedicated on-site parking, scarce in the area, captures drive-up trade that most nearby storefronts cannot.
THE STORE
Inline retail bay in good condition: tile floor, drop ceiling with full lighting, storefront glazing and a rear stockroom. The fit-out is current and requires no capital catch-up at takeover. The assortment covers grocery and Hispanic specialty foods, beer and wine, beverages and snacks, tobacco and vape, household and personal care, fresh produce, lottery, and beach and souvenir items.
INCLUDED IN THE SALE (equipment approx. $25,000, owner estimate)
- Refrigeration: four-door glass beer and wine merchandiser, glass-door reach-in beverage coolers, frozen and ice cream merchandisers, rear cold storage
- Fixtures: gondola runs, wall shelving, end caps, produce and impulse displays, counters, stockroom racking
- Systems: POS register, card terminal, monitored security camera system, signage and lighting
- Approximately $40,000 of saleable inventory at cost, included in the asking price and subject to joint physical count at closing
- Trade name, supplier relationships and goodwill
OPERATIONS AND UPSIDE
The business is run absentee today with counter staff. An owner-operator working the store changes the labor structure, the single largest controllable cost. Additional upside for a new owner:
- In-store advertising income: a window advertising-screen contract is available at approximately $200/month at no operator cost
- Repositioning toward a curated neighborhood market with specialty coffee, prepared foods and local goods, built on the existing beer and wine and grocery entitlements
- Category focus on higher-margin tobacco and vape lines within the existing permitted uses
TRANSACTION
Asset sale, free and clear; no real estate or entity included. The asking price reflects the entitled, equipped, stocked and leased platform, not an earnings multiple. Cash at closing preferred; a modest, short-term seller note may be considered for a qualified buyer. The seller will provide a reasonable transition and training period and a customary non-compete. Closing is subject to landlord consent to assignment and the buyer securing the required licenses.
NEXT STEPS
Financial statements, earnings detail, lease documentation and the store location are released after a signed NDA and proof of funds. Please direct all inquiries to the listing advisor. Do not contact the business, its staff, landlord or suppliers directly.
Licenses do not transfer automatically in an asset sale, and permitted uses are limited to those on the current Certificate of Use. The buyer applies in its own name and verifies continuation of all uses with the City and the State. Information is provided by the seller and has not been independently verified.
