Turnkey Record Store & Event Venue w 42 Beer & Wine + Events Permit
Business Description
Turnkey Record Store & Music Venue – Perfect for Music Lovers!
Step into a rare opportunity to own a fully operational, turnkey record store and events venue—designed for anyone passionate about music, vinyl, and events. More than a retail business, it’s a vibrant hub where you can host events, collaborate with top record labels, and immerse yourself in the music community while running a profitable operation.
Business Highlights:
Licenses & Permits: Includes a Type 42 Beer & Wine License and an Entertainment Permit, allowing you to host events, tastings, and live performances immediately. No extra approvals required.
Premium Sound & Lighting: Features a 4-point JBL PRX sound system with 4 subwoofers and 6 high-quality loudspeakers, delivering crystal-clear audio. Custom lighting enhances the vibe, perfect for DJ sets, listening sessions, or private events.
Established Brand & Online Presence: Recognized brand with a professional website offering e-commerce, bulk emailer, and ticket sales. Strong social media presence with 8.5k followers provides a ready audience for marketing events and product launches.
DJ & Listening Gear: Booth includes 2 Technics turntables, a Pioneer DJ mixer, and a Pioneer listening station, ideal for in-store demos, listening sessions, or live performances. Additional equipment: three extra turntables, record bins, and two fridges.
Stylish, Functional Space: Comfortable, well-maintained furniture complements a thoughtful layout for retail and events. The venue creates an inviting environment for customers to browse, socialize, and enjoy high-quality music experiences.
Full Infrastructure: Air conditioning, ADT security, waterproof wood-laminated flooring, and tiled entry & kitchen. Commercial and mini bar fridges, plus Nespresso machine, make hosting events seamless.
Technology-Ready: Paid-off Clover POS included, ensuring easy sales and inventory management.
Inventory & Assets:
The inventory is valued at $40,000 and provides a full, ready-to-go product selection, but this is optional if you'd rather just buy the space and curate your own stock . Booth gear, lighting, furniture, and infrastructure are included—truly turnkey.
Why This Business Stands Out:
This isn’t just a store—it’s a community hub for music lovers, DJs, and event-goers. Gain immediate access to the local and international music scene, host intimate listening sessions, DJ showcases, or larger record label events in a space optimized for sound, comfort, and experience.
The business offers:
Immediate revenue potential from retail and events
Fully built-out, ready-to-operate space requiring minimal investment
Flexibility to host private events, label showcases, and community gatherings
Prime location with foot traffic and a strong presence in the music community
Turnkey Opportunity for Music Lovers:
For the right buyer, this is more than a business—it’s a lifestyle. All permits, licenses, and equipment are in place, allowing you to start generating revenue from day one. With a high-quality sound system, full DJ setup, listening station, stylish interior, strong online presence, and optional inventory, this business provides everything needed to succeed immediately.
Whether your goal is to expand in the music industry, create a hub for vinyl enthusiasts, or run a profitable retail and event space, this turnkey business is ready for its next owner.
