High-Potential Retail Opportunity Near UC Davis – Strong Margins & Expansion Upside
This 1,800 SF Asian grocery store is ideally located near UC Davis, benefiting from steady
student and neighborhood traffic. With a base rent of only $4,150 per month plus approximately
$800 NNN, the occupancy cost is very reasonable for this prime area.
The store currently generates about $35,000 in monthly sales with impressive margins of
approximately 40%, producing solid cash flow. Even more exciting is the upside potential: this
location can be converted into a full liquor store, and with the right operator, monthly sales could
realistically grow to $60,000–$70,000. At that level, projected net income could reach
approximately $12,000 per month.
The lease includes four years remaining plus a five-year option, with a strong possibility of
securing an additional five-year extension—providing long-term stability and growth opportunity.
The seller may be willing to carry a portion of the purchase price for a qualified buyer, making
this an accessible opportunity with built-in leverage. Inventory is approximately $100,000 and
will be paid separately at closing.
This is an excellent opportunity for an owner-operator or investor looking for strong margins, low
rent, long lease security, and significant growth potential in a high-demand university market.
