Located in the heart of San Francisco’s Financial District, This Market is a rare opportunity to acquire a high-volume liquor and convenience store with strong cash flow, an established customer base, and a unique competitive position in one of the city’s busiest urban corridors.
The business generates approximately $210,000 in monthly gross sales and has built a loyal following among local residents, workers, visitors, and repeat customers. Lottery sales average approximately $70,000 to $80,000 per month, creating consistent foot traffic and additional purchasing opportunities throughout the store.
A significant competitive advantage is that the Market is the only store within several blocks operating with a Type 21 Off-Sale General Liquor License, making it a primary destination for customers seeking beer, wine, and spirits. This unique market position helps drive repeat business and provides a barrier to entry that is difficult to replicate in San Francisco’s highly regulated licensing environment.
The store occupies approximately 2,000 square feet plus a large basement storage area, allowing for efficient inventory management and strong product selection. The business benefits from excellent street visibility, constant pedestrian traffic, and a long-established presence within the neighborhood.
The current lease extends through October 2032 with only 2% annual rent increases, providing long-term operational stability and predictable occupancy costs for a new owner.
Included in the sale are the furniture, fixtures, equipment, goodwill, customer base, supplier relationships, and operational systems necessary to continue operating the business without interruption. The business is fully staffed, operational, and generating immediate income.
The seller owns an automotive dealership. He is selling solely to focus on his existing dealership operations and pursue additional automotive business opportunities. The sale is not due to the performance of the business, which continues to generate strong revenue and cash flow.
The seller will provide transition assistance and training, including introductions to established wholesale suppliers in Los Angeles and local Bay Area vendors. The new owner will benefit from existing vendor relationships, purchasing channels, and operational procedures that have been developed over many years.
Additional growth opportunities exist through expanded premium liquor selections, increased convenience offerings, enhanced merchandising, delivery partnerships, and optimization of high-margin product categories. A hands-on owner may also identify opportunities to further increase profitability through product mix adjustments and operational efficiencies.
Businesses offering strong cash flow, a full liquor license, long-term lease security, and limited direct competition are increasingly difficult to find in San Francisco. This Market presents a compelling opportunity for an owner-operator, family business, or investor seeking a proven operation with immediate income and long-term upside.
