Absentee-Owned Smoke Shop with $8K Monthly SDE (COAM Coming Soon)
Business Description
Absentee-Owned Smoke Shop with Strong Margins and Growing Cash Flow
The business has also applied for COAM game machines, which, if approved and installed, may provide additional future revenue upside. A neighboring gas station in the same retail area generates strong customer traffic, helping support visibility and repeat customer flow for the smoke shop.
This is a newly turned-around smoke and vape shop located in a high-visibility retail area with strong potential for continued growth. The current owner took over after the previous operator closed the business and successfully repositioned the store into a profitable operation.
The business currently generates approximately $26,000 in monthly gross sales with an estimated 60% gross margin and about $8,000 in monthly SDE/cash flow. The store is currently operated absentee, making it an attractive opportunity for either an investor or an owner-operator looking to further increase profitability.
The shop offers a variety of smoke, vape, tobacco, and related retail products with repeat customers. Because the business is still relatively new under the current ownership, there may be room to grow through expanded inventory, local marketing, loyalty programs, social media presence, and hands-on management.
This is a turnkey opportunity for a buyer looking for a profitable specialty retail business with strong margins, absentee ownership, and upside potential.
Highlights:
Absentee-owned operation
Approximately $8,000 monthly SDE
Approximately $26,000 monthly gross sales
Estimated 60% gross margin
Successful turnaround by current owner
Turnkey retail setup
Growth potential for an owner-operator
Additional Income expected from COAM Machines

1 manager - Market Outlook / Competition
- The primary growth driver is the pending COAM (Coin Operated Amusement Machine) licensing application, which is currently in process. Comparable nearby locations with COAM machines installed report strong commission revenue, suggesting solid earning potential for this business once approval is finalized and machines are operational. Actual results will depend on machine count, foot traffic, and placement, but the surrounding market has shown healthy demand for this type of amusement revenue. Beyond COAM, additional upside exists in converting the business from its current absentee structure to owner-operated management, which often improves margins through tighter cost control and more attentive day-to-day decision-making. Further growth could come from extended operating hours, expanded product or service offerings, local marketing efforts, or renegotiated supplier terms now that the business has a proven, stable foundation.
- Opportunities for Growth
- The business sits in a location with demonstrated demand for COAM-style amusement revenue, as evidenced by other nearby establishments operating successful machine programs. This positions the business well to capture similar performance once its own licensing is approved. The current ownership has already proven the location's resilience and viability, having successfully revitalized the business after a previous operator closed it down. Pending COAM approval also gives this business a near-term competitive edge in the immediate trade area, particularly if licensed locations remain limited nearby. Prospective buyers should independently verify current COAM licensing timelines, applicable machine count limits under Georgia law, and the density of other licensed competitors in the surrounding market before finalizing any growth assumptions.
