Established Northern Kentucky Liquor Store - Prime Location
Business Description
Turnkey Opportunity with Loyal Customers & Growth Potential
Excellent opportunity to acquire a well-established neighborhood liquor store serving Edgewood and the surrounding Northern Kentucky community since 2012.
This turnkey 1,760 sq. ft. operation is located in an established, highly desirable area surrounded by residential neighborhoods, local businesses, colleges, hospitals, a golf course and country club, with convenient access to major area traffic routes and the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport area.
The store has developed a loyal base of repeat customers and a strong reputation for friendly, personalized customer service. Years of operating experience have also allowed the business to develop an inventory mix specifically tailored to the preferences of its local customer base.
2025 gross revenue was approximately $544,000, with historical gross sales exceeding $620,000 annually on average from 2022 through 2024. Additional financial information can be made available to qualified buyers.
Approximately $55,000 in furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E) supports the operation, including commercial refrigeration/beer cooler equipment, compressors, retail shelving and displays, computer/POS equipment, security cameras, signage and other operating assets.
Current alcohol inventory is approximately $100,000 and is available separately from the asking price. Final inventory value will be determined at cost based on physical inventory at closing.
The premises are leased. The business currently occupies the location on a month-to-month basis, with new lease terms to be negotiated directly between the purchaser and property management.
The business offers an attractive opportunity for an owner-operator who wants to acquire an established operation rather than build a liquor store from the ground up. Potential growth opportunities include increased marketing and social media presence, customer loyalty programs, promotions, expanded special-order offerings, continued optimization of product selection, and additional outreach to surrounding neighborhoods and businesses.
Current owner is willing to provide reasonable transition assistance to help facilitate a smooth change of ownership. Owner is selling after six years of ownership to pursue other opportunities.
Asking price: $199,000, plus inventory.
Serious inquiries from qualified buyers are welcome. Additional information is available upon request.
