Established smoke shop and convenience store in Portsmouth, Virginia — vape products, accessories, glassware, beverages, snacks, and daily convenience items sold from a street-level storefront that is open, stocked, and profitable today.

Rent is $1,075 per month with no payroll currently carried. Occupancy and labor are the costs that determine whether a small retailer retains its profit, and both are kept minimal here, allowing daily traffic to convert into cash flow rather than overhead. Smoke shop products carry the margin while convenience items bring the same customers back multiple times per week.

Current ownership has elected to run the store without staff, prioritizing margin and direct oversight of purchasing and inventory. The model does not require it. The operation is structured to support employee coverage whenever a new owner chooses to add it, making the current staffing level a decision rather than a constraint.

Ready to operate from day one:
- Supplier accounts and inventory systems in place
- Display cases, shelving, and complete merchandising layout
- Google Business profile with strong local reviews
- Lease secured through May 2028 with a five-year renewal option
- Up to two weeks of transition training provided by ownership

The upside is what has not yet been pursued — the store has never been marketed, digital presence is minimal, and the fastest-turning categories can support deeper inventory. Adding part-time coverage takes a new owner off the counter.

Seller is motivated and prepared to move with a qualified buyer.
