4-Year Established Smoke Shop, 2 Years with Liquor-Excellent Location
Business Description
Smoke & Liquor is a well-established retail business located in an exceptional, high-demand area with strong and consistent foot traffic. The business has been operating for four years, with the smoke segment firmly established and a liquor license added two years ago, creating a growing dual-revenue model with substantial upside.
The store benefits from an outstanding location surrounded by powerful traffic generators. It is directly adjacent to a popular banquet hall and one of the oldest and most well-known bars in Glendale, both of which consistently drive demand for liquor, beer, wine, cigars, hookah products, and related accessories. The plaza also includes a bakery that has operated successfully for over 30 years, as well as a highly recognized sushi restaurant, further contributing to steady daily foot traffic and repeat customers.
Liquor sales currently represent approximately one-third of total revenue and continue to grow, while the smoke business provides stable baseline income. Demand in the area for liquor, cigars, hookahs, hookah tobacco, and accessories is exceptionally strong. A new owner has a clear opportunity to significantly increase sales by expanding liquor selection, cigars, hookah-related inventory, and by implementing targeted promotions tailored to the surrounding nightlife and event-driven businesses.
The store is clean, well-maintained, and professionally laid out, with all necessary fixtures and equipment in place for a smooth transition. No major capital improvements are required.
A major highlight of this opportunity is the favorable lease structure. The business benefits from a strong lease suitable for both liquor and smoke retail use, with approximately six years remaining, providing long-term stability and predictability for a new owner.
This business is ideal for an experienced retailer seeking a prime-location acquisition with proven demand, stable current operations, and significant upside potential as liquor sales mature and product offerings are expanded.
