Absentee smoke shop generating ~$180K net profit with full-time manager in place. Established in 2021 with clean books, low rent, and strong repeat customer base in a high-traffic Clearwater location.
Located on a major road in Clearwater with strong visibility and consistent foot traffic. Notably, this is the only smoke shop on the immediate stretch, providing a strong competitive advantage and steady repeat customer base.
The business is fully turnkey with detailed SOPs, KPI tracking, and clean financials. All revenue is tracked through POS systems with complete documentation, including receipts and records from day one, making this highly transparent and easy to diligence.
Key Highlights
~$180,000 net profit
- Absentee operation (~10 hours/week owner involvement)
- Full-time manager in place handling day-to-day operations (willing to stay)
- Only smoke shop on major road in immediate area
- Low rent at $2,400/month
- Fully staffed with 5 employees
- Clean books with full POS tracking and tax documentation
- Built from scratch in 2021 (proven concept)
- Strong repeat customer base
- Established vendor relationships
Operations
- The business operates with minimal owner involvement and is supported by a full-time manager who oversees daily operations. Combined with trained staff, established SOPs, and KPI tracking systems, this creates a stable, semi-absentee structure that is easy for a new owner to step into and scale.
Growth Opportunities
- Significant upside remains for a new owner:
- Convert ~400 sq ft of unused space into a kava/kratom bar
- Expand product offerings (premium glass, accessories, etc.)
- Extend operating hours
- Implement digital marketing / loyalty programs (currently minimal)
- Add delivery or online sales channel
Lease & Location
- Located in Clearwater, FL
- 1,780 sq ft retail space
- Two (2) additional 5-year renewal options
- High-traffic road with excellent visibility
- Favorable lease terms
Reason for Sale
- Owner built the business from scratch and is now looking to redeploy capital into other ventures.
Financing
- Seller financing available for qualified buyers. Preference for offers with approximately $200K+ cash at closing, with flexibility on structure for the right buyer.
Additional Notes
- This is a rare opportunity to acquire a clean, well-documented, and profitable retail business with strong fundamentals, management in place, and immediate cash flow. Businesses with this level of operational structure and absentee capability are uncommon in this space.
- Photos are representative. Additional photos and location details available upon signed NDA.
Serious inquiries only.
