Liquor Store with Strong Lottery Income for Sale
Business Description
This well-established liquor store has been successfully operated by the same owner for 33 years. It is located on a highly visible corner along busy streets, offering excellent visibility and convenient access. The business is currently family-operated, so there is little to no separate employee payroll expense.
1. Key Business Information
*Store Size: Approximately 2,100 Sq. Ft.
*Average Monthly Sales: Approximately $60,000–$65,000
*Estimated Net Profit Margin: Approximately 40%
*Monthly Rent: $13,900, including CAM

2. Strong Additional Income
One of the greatest advantages of this business is its strong lottery income. Scratch ticket sales are particularly active, generating approximately $8,000–$9,000 per month in net lottery income.
This is not the gross amount of lottery sales. It is the approximate amount paid to the owner separately from the store’s regular merchandise sales, helping offset a substantial portion of the monthly rent.
The store also generates additional cash income by being used as a filming location for commercial television advertisements and video productions.
*2025 Filming Income: Approximately $6,000
*2026 Filming Income Through the End of July: Approximately $6,000
Filming income varies from year to year and is sometimes paid in cash, so formal documentation of the exact amounts may be limited.
3. Lease Information
The new buyer will be required to obtain landlord approval and enter into a new lease.
The current rent is subject to a 3% annual increase. However, because the rent is relatively high, the parties may request that the landlord keep the rent fixed for approximately five years without the annual 3% increases.
This is not guaranteed, but there may be an opportunity to negotiate this matter with the landlord.
The store carries a substantial amount of inventory, features an 8-door walk-in beer cooler, and generates additional income from lottery commissions and filming-location fees in addition to regular liquor-store sales. It is a stable, family-operated business with a long operating history and multiple sources of income.
