This is a rare opportunity to acquire a fully operational, turnkey liquor store with a decade of proven performance on State Highway 14 between Auburn and Tallassee. Located just 15 minutes from Auburn University, the store captures consistent traffic from local residents, a large surrounding rural population, Auburn sporting events including high-volume football weekends, and seasonal Lake Martin recreational traffic. It is the only liquor store in Notasulga, providing a natural competitive advantage within the immediate market.
The store is 1,500 square feet, fully built out, and ready for immediate operation with no renovation required. Equipment includes a large walk-in beer cooler, five cold beverage display coolers, two wine and spirits coolers, a Red Bull cooler, full shelving, checkout counter, retail fixtures, and both public and private restrooms.
The business has generated consistent high six-figure annual sales since 2015, with gross margins currently at 26% and improving each year. Monthly rent of $3,500 represents just 4.5% of annual revenue — well below the industry norm of 6–10%. The business is well suited for a full-time owner-operator seeking strong personal income, or for an investor who prefers to hire a manager and oversee operations remotely. Either model is supported by the store's consistent sales volume and low overhead structure. Full financials including estimated Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE) are available to qualified buyers upon request.
The store is situated in a safe, low-crime community — an important consideration for both owner-operators and investors managing staff and inventory.
The building is owned by the seller and will be leased to the buyer at $3,500/month with a long-term lease and renewal options, providing security of tenure that many comparable listings cannot offer.

For investors with a broader vision, a considerable amount of adjacent commercial property — also owned by the seller — is available for development and lease. The highway-facing location and steady traffic flow make it a natural fit for a small retail strip, restaurant, or specialty shops, creating the potential to establish a modest commercial anchor in an underserved market. This is a meaningful opportunity for a buyer interested in building long-term real estate income alongside the business.
Asking price: $249,000 (business only) · Inventory sold separately at cost · 30 days of training and transition provided · Financials available to qualified buyers upon request.
