Hot Listing
High-Volume Liquor Store – Northern NJ
Business Description
A rare opportunity to acquire a top-performing liquor store in a highly desirable Northern New Jersey trade area. This established business generates over $8M in annual sales with consistent year-over-year performance and a strong customer base driven by repeat shopping behavior, a wine-focused assortment strategy, and a well-balanced mix of spirits, beer, and specialty categories.
The store operates out of a spacious 8,000 sq. ft. retail footprint designed for high traffic flow and efficient inventory movement. The facility includes 10+ refrigerated cooler doors, installed computer systems, modern POS equipment, shelving, fixtures, and operational infrastructure—all included with the sale. Inventory will be sold separately at wholesale valuation.
The surrounding community offers favorable demographics, including a strong local Asian (predominantly South Korean) population known for elevated purchasing patterns, premium category interest, and strong loyalty once relationships are established. Limited liquor licenses in the area create a protected competitive landscape, and this store holds the advantage of being the largest retailer of its category in the immediate market.
In addition to strong in-store sales, the business also includes a transferable online ordering platform and mobile app. Currently representing approximately 10% of sales, this channel presents a significant growth opportunity through expansion of the delivery zone, improved digital visibility, loyalty programs, targeted marketing, and culturally curated product offerings.
The lease structure is a key advantage, with more than 15 years available and rent priced more than 25% below comparable rates in the area. This provides long-term operating stability and attractive positioning for continued profitability.
This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced operator, multi-store owner, or qualified buyer seeking a turnkey, scalable retail business in a high-demand region.
Ownership is selling due to distance from the business and will provide a transition period to ensure a smooth handoff, including select vendor introductions and training as negotiated.
