Established Smoke & Vape Retailer | Reduced to $140K
Business Description
The asking price for this established Jacksonville specialty retail business has recently been reduced from $180,000 to $140,000 to support a timely transaction.
The business generated approximately $630,500 in revenue during 2025, with Seller-provided normalized Seller’s Discretionary Earnings of approximately $138,500.
The store offers a broad selection of vape products, disposable devices, e-liquids, glass, hookah products, smoke accessories, and related merchandise. It has developed an established customer base, an excellent online reputation, a customer rewards program, and special-order capabilities.
The approximately 1,100-square-foot store features an attractive retail layout with illuminated display cases, extensive wall shelving, central merchandise fixtures, POS equipment, and security-related improvements. Approximately $30,000 of furniture, fixtures, and equipment is included in the sale.
The $140,000 asking price also includes $20,000 of inventory. A physical inventory count will be completed during due diligence and updated before closing. Inventory exceeding $20,000 will be purchased separately from the Seller under terms established in the definitive purchase agreement.
The business is actively owner-operated and supported by an employee. It is best suited for a hands-on buyer who will assume the Seller’s day-to-day responsibilities. Buyers seeking a more passive operation should account for the cost of additional management or employee coverage.
Growth opportunities include improving inventory turns, emphasizing higher-margin product categories, expanding special-order activity, increasing rewards-program participation, and strengthening local digital and social media marketing.

- The business operates from an approximately 1,100-square-foot retail suite along an established Jacksonville commercial corridor. The store features an attractive and organized sales floor with illuminated display cases, extensive wall shelving, central merchandise fixtures, a dedicated checkout and POS area, and security-related improvements.
Approximately $30,000 of furniture, fixtures, and equipment and $20,000 of inventory are included in the $140,000 asking price.
The premises are leased through October 31, 2031. Current occupancy cost is approximately $4,215.75 per month, with 4% annual increases. Lease assignment, buyer qualification, guaranty requirements, and final approval remain subject to the landlord. - Market Outlook / Competition
- The business serves Jacksonville’s established market for vape, smoke, glass, and related specialty retail products. Competition includes independent smoke shops, vape retailers, convenience stores, and online sellers.
The store differentiates itself through its broad product selection, knowledgeable customer service, extended operating hours, special-order capabilities, customer rewards program, and strong online reputation. Its established operating history and customer base provide a new owner with a solid platform in a competitive retail category. - Opportunities for Growth
- A new owner can improve performance by using POS and inventory-turn data to concentrate purchasing on faster-moving, higher-margin products while reducing capital tied up in slower merchandise.
Additional opportunities include expanding special orders, increasing rewards-program participation, introducing targeted promotions for repeat customers, and strengthening social media and local search marketing. Formalizing operating procedures, cross-training the employee, and adding scheduled coverage could also reduce owner dependence and create a more transferable operation.
