Share on Reddit Business Description
Turnkey, high-traffic smokeshop in New Haven, CT with a proven operating system and an established repeat-customer base—ideal for an owner-operator or multi-unit buyer looking for a clean acquisition.
This location is built to run consistently (not “owner-dependent”) with documented SOPs, merchandising standards, vendor relationships, and a loyalty/rewards model that drives return visits. The business is part of an operator group established since 2015, demonstrating durability through regulatory changes and market cycles.
What you’re buying:
-1,500 SF retail storefront in a dense, active area with strong foot traffic
-Full operating infrastructure: POS workflows, SKU set, vendor list, pricing/merchandising standards, and reorder cadence
-Approx. $110,000 inventory included in the asking price (at cost)
-Approx. $20,000 FF&E included (fixtures, displays, counters, shelving, storage, office equipment, etc.)
-Operating playbooks/SOPs and seller training for a smooth transition
Why this store stands out in a “saturated” market:
The advantage here is disciplined purchasing, curated product mix, and SOP-driven execution—exactly what most competitors lack. A buyer steps into a system, not a guessing game.
Growth upside (C-Store):
The site is a perfect fit for a convenience store concept given strong foot traffic and dense nearby residential doors and college campuses.
Training & transition:
Seller will provide hands-on training covering POS + inventory controls, vendor ordering, pricing/margins, compliance best practices, and daily/weekly operating routines, plus post-close support for an agreed period.
Reason for sale: Partners are pursuing other ventures.
For larger buyers: Two additional retail locations and a distribution/manufacturing warehouse are also available as part of a separate vertically integrated package listing (posted separately).
Serious inquiries only. NDA and proof of funds required prior to sharing sensitive details.
