This is a rare opportunity to acquire a fully operational, turnkey liquor store located in Notasulga, Alabama, serving the local community and surrounding areas since 2015. The business has established itself as a consistent and reliable retail destination for beer, tobacco, wine, and spirits, supported by a loyal and repeat customer base and steady upper six-figure annual sales.
The building and property are owned by the current owner, providing long-term stability and control over the location. The business is being offered with a lease in place at a favorable monthly rate of $3,500 per month, creating an attractive occupancy cost structure that supports continued profitability for a new owner.
The store is 1,500 square feet and is fully built out for efficient retail operations. The layout is designed to maximize product visibility and customer flow, allowing for a smooth and organized shopping experience. Key features include a large walk-in beer cooler and five additional drink display coolers, which support strong cold beverage sales and enhance customer convenience. Also, there are two additional coolers for wine and alcohol and a Red Bull cooler. The space is equipped with shelving, counters, and fixtures necessary for immediate operation.
Additional amenities include both a public restroom and a private restroom, contributing to overall functionality for both customers and staff. The condition of the store allows a new owner to step in and operate without the need for significant additional investment or renovations.
Since opening in 2015, the business has demonstrated consistent performance with stable sales and improving operational efficiency over time. Enhancements in inventory management and product mix have contributed to healthy margins and reliable cash flow. The business is well-suited for an owner-operator or an investor looking to hire staff and oversee operations.
One of the most attractive aspects of this opportunity is the favorable lease structure. The rent represents a relatively low percentage of revenue compared to industry norms, which enhances profitability and reduces financial risk for the next owner. This is a significant advantage in today’s retail environment.
The location is located on a busy state highway and serves both local residents and customers from surrounding areas, offering a dependable customer base with limited direct competition. The established presence in the community further strengthens the business and contributes to repeat business and customer loyalty.
There are several opportunities for growth that a new owner may choose to pursue. These include expanding product selection into higher-margin categories such as premium spirits and specialty beverages, increasing marketing and promotional efforts, and optimizing hours of operation. The existing foundation provides a strong platform for continued success and potential expansion.
Inventory is not included in the asking price and will be sold separately at cost. This ensures a smooth transition and allows the buyer to take over a fully stocked and operational store from day one.
Ownership is willing to provide 30 days of training and a transition period to assist with a seamless handoff and to share operational knowledge, supplier relationships, and best practices.
Due to the nature of the business, detailed financial information will be made available to qualified buyers upon request. Serious inquiries are encouraged to learn more about this established and profitable opportunity.
