BOUTIQUE WINE BAR — NORTH SPOKANE COUNTY, WA | $275,000

Rare opportunity to acquire the only dedicated wine bar in a growing Eastern Washington community — fully operational, community-embedded, with established brand loyalty, recurring revenue, and significant owner-operator upside.

ABOUT THE BUSINESS
Open since 2022, this boutique wine bar has become the social anchor of its downtown corridor in just over three years. The concept is low-complexity by design: curated Washington wines, craft beer and cider, hand-crafted charcuterie and small bites, and a rotating calendar of live music, trivia, themed tastings, and private events. No heavy kitchen. No deep fryer. Just wine, atmosphere, and community.

Indoor seating plus seasonal patio. Wine club membership program driving recurring monthly revenue. Retail bottle sales with member discount program. Listed with the regional winery association and featured in a major Pacific Northwest food publication. The business is open, staffed, and generating revenue on day one for a new owner.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
2025 revenue: $237,760 | 2025 NOI: $40,347
2024 revenue: $232,948 | 2024 NOI: $24,401
NOI nearly doubled year-over-year as owners absorbed floor shifts themselves, reducing the wage line by $15,125. Revenue and profitability are both trending up — achieved with part-time ownership and a 5-day operating week.

THE OWNER-OPERATOR OPPORTUNITY
This business has been deliberately under-optimized. Current owners hold full-time careers outside the business. A hands-on owner-operator steps into a proven concept and unlocks immediate upside through five specific levers — none of which require capital investment:

1. Expand operating days (currently 5 days/week ? 6–7 days)
2. Owner works the floor significant wage reduction
3. Double event frequency (scheduling decision, not capital)
4. Grow wine club membership through direct customer relationships
5. Active retail bottle upsell program

Projected stabilized NOI with active owner-operator: $75,000–$90,000/year. At a 2.5x–3.0x multiple, this supports a value of $187,500–$270,000 — making the $275,000 asking price well-justified for a buyer who shows up.
