Profitable Convenience Store — Extraordinarily Low Rent & Full Liquor
Business Description
Business Overview
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-established convenience store in Guatay, California, with nearly two decades of operating history under continuous ownership. The business generates consistent annual revenue averaging over $345,000 with improving net income year over year — a strong signal of operational efficiency and expense management. Most notably, the property carries one of the most favorable lease structures available in San Diego County, with monthly rent of just $955, providing any new owner an immediate and significant cost advantage.
Key Highlights
Stable, proven revenue averaging $345,000+ annually over the last three years with improving net income
Exceptionally low rent of $955/month — an irreplaceable cost structure nearly impossible to replicate in today's market
Long-term lease security with renewal options extending through 2043
Type 20 ABC license (beer and wine off-sale) included in the sale
Eligible for upgrade to a Type 21 full liquor license — a significant untapped revenue opportunity for a qualified buyer
Inventory not included in asking price — priced separately at cost
Turnkey operation with established customer base and years of continuous operating history
Lease Terms
The premises are currently in an active renewal term running through May 2028, with three additional 5-year renewal options available extending through 2043. Monthly rent is $955 with modest $15/year annual increases — providing exceptional long-term cost certainty.
