Absentee-Run Smoke & Beer Shop – High Traffic Suffolk County Location | Strong Upside

Well-established smoke and beer retail business located in Suffolk County on one of the busiest roads in the area. The store benefits from heavy foot traffic and strong visibility, making it a prime spot for consistent sales and future growth.

The business has been under the same ownership for approximately 4.5 years and is currently run completely absentee with only two employees in place. This makes it an excellent opportunity for either a passive investor seeking steady cash flow or an owner-operator willing to put in time, effort, and marketing to significantly grow the business.

Financial highlights include:

Approx. $500–$800 in daily sales

Approx. $6,000 per month in owner cash flow

Operations are simple and streamlined. The store does not offer lottery or cigarette sales, as cigarettes were intentionally discontinued due to low margins. The current product mix focuses on higher-margin smoke and beverage items, leaving room for optimization and expansion.

The store occupies approximately 950 square feet and benefits from extremely low rent, which materially supports profitability. The high-traffic Suffolk County location already drives consistent walk-in business, and a hands-on owner could further increase sales through local marketing, merchandising, promotions, and expanded product offerings.

This is a turnkey operation with established systems and reliable staff. An owner-operator could immediately increase earnings by reducing payroll, while a marketing-focused buyer has clear upside potential in an already strong location.

The seller is highly motivated and looking to cash out to pursue other opportunities. Priced to sell.
