Here is a smoke and vape shop on a corner in Tempe doing $576,553 a year on $122,160 in owner's cash flow, priced at $150,000.
The shop has been open at the same Tempe address for more than ten years, and the current owner has run it for about four. It sits in a corner plaza near major roads and established residential neighborhoods, which is where the foot and vehicle traffic comes from. Two full-time and two part-time employees cover the floor. The owner handles purchasing, ordering, cash and deposits, and payroll, and the business can be run absentee if a buyer prefers that.
At $150,000 against $122,160 in owner's cash flow, this is priced at roughly 1.2x. The seller is pursuing other opportunities and has priced it to move.
The space is about 1,500 sq ft, leased at $3,007.62 per month on a term running through January 2028. Inside there are two humidors, custom display cases and twelve security cameras. Hours are 9:00am to 9:00pm on weekdays, to 10:00pm Thursday through Saturday, and 9:30am to 7:30pm on Sunday.
The shop runs at roughly a 40% gross margin - about $22,140 a month in gross profit against $11,960 of operating expense, of which $6,000 is payroll and $3,010 is rent. Advertising on the P&L is $0.
$50,000 in equipment and fixtures is included in the $150,000 price, along with goodwill, the customer base and a three-year non-compete. Approximately $55,000 of inventory at cost is purchased separately at closing. The POS system is on lease and can transfer.
Tobacco and TPT licenses are required and transferable. This is an asset sale, delivered free and clear at the close of escrow, and the seller will provide two weeks of familiarization at no cost.
Financials shown are monthly-average annualized. Books and records available to qualified buyers under NDA.

- Approximately 1,500 sq ft corner suite in a Tempe plaza near major roads and residential neighborhoods, with visibility to both foot and vehicle traffic. Two humidors, custom display cases and twelve security cameras are in place, and the interior is clean and professionally maintained. Product lines cover tobacco, vapes, glassware and accessories.

The POS system is on lease and can transfer.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- The store has operated at the same Tempe address for more than ten years and serves a repeat local customer base. Smoke and vape retail in the area is competitive and largely independent; this business's points of difference are its length of operation at one corner location, its product range, and seven-day hours. No single customer accounts for more than 10% of sales, and the business is not seasonal. Buyers should verify local competition and market conditions independently.
- Opportunities for Growth
- The P&L carries no advertising spend at all. Local and social media marketing, a loyalty program, online ordering and delivery where permitted, and broader accessory and cigar lines are all unworked. A hands-on owner-operator could also take out part of the $6,000 monthly payroll. None of this is reflected in the figures presented; results would depend on the buyer's own plan and execution.
