Profitable Convenience Store – Kern County
Business Description
This is a great opportunity to take over a well-established neighborhood convenience store in a busy residential area of Kern County. The shop sits on its own quarter-acre lot, giving it excellent visibility and easy access for both walk-in and drive-up customers. Surrounded by steady local traffic and long-time residents, the store enjoys reliable foot flow and a strong base of repeat buyers.
The business brings in $22,000–$27,000 in monthly sales, along with extra passive income from a car wash tenant. Inside, shoppers find the essentials they come back for day after day—lottery, EBT, tobacco, smoke shop products, beverages, groceries, and household items. It’s a straightforward, consistent operation that’s already producing dependable revenue.
What truly sets this store apart is the room to grow. With the full lot included in the lease, new ownership can easily expand the business model—whether adding food vendors, a recycling service, or integrating delivery platforms like DoorDash or UberEats. The location and layout make upgrading or expanding simple and highly realistic.
Overall, this is a solid, affordable business with proven performance and plenty of upside for someone ready to take it to the next stage.
