About the Business
- Years in Operation
- 26
- Employees
- 3 (2 Full-time, 1 Part-time)
- Facilities & Assets
- This established liquor store generates average monthly gross sales of approximately $50,000, offering a solid foundation for consistent cash flow. The business is efficiently operated by the owner with one full-time and one part-time employee, with total payroll expenses of approximately $5,600 per month.
Operating expenses remain manageable, including utilities (water, gas, trash, and electricity) at about $3,800 per month and insurance at approximately $600 per month.
In addition to the retail business income, the property benefits from strong supplemental rental income totaling $10,500 per month, consisting of $6,500 from the primary lease and $4,000 from additional tenants. This diversified income stream enhances overall stability and investment appeal.
With multiple revenue sources and a strategic high-traffic location, this opportunity is well-suited for both owner-users and investors seeking steady returns with upside potential. - Market Outlook / Competition
- The business operates in a densely populated and economically active area of Burbank, benefiting from steady foot traffic, nearby residential neighborhoods, and a strong daytime workforce tied to the city’s media and entertainment industry. The surrounding corridor along W Burbank Blvd is known for its mix of retail, dining, and service-oriented businesses, creating consistent customer demand throughout the week.
Competition consists primarily of other independent liquor stores, small markets, and select convenience chains in the immediate vicinity. However, this location stands out due to its established presence, repeat customer base, and high-visibility frontage on a major thoroughfare. The combination of accessibility, parking convenience, and proximity to studios and offices provides a competitive edge. - Opportunities for Growth
- Current sales of approximately $50,000 per month provide a solid base, with several straightforward opportunities to expand:
Product mix optimization: Introduce higher-margin items such as craft beer, premium spirits, fine wines, and trending ready-to-drink beverages. Expanding snacks, tobacco alternatives, and convenience goods can also increase average ticket size.
Extended hours: Capturing late-night and early-morning demand can drive incremental daily sales in this high-traffic corridor.
Delivery & online ordering: Partnering with popular delivery platforms or offering in-house delivery can tap into a growing segment of customers who prefer convenience.
Leverage rental income: With an additional $10,500 per month in rental income already in place, a buyer has flexibility to reinvest in the business or further optimize tenant mix for increased returns.
