Read the lease before anything else
Remaining term, renewal options, rent escalations, and assignment rights can make or break a retail deal. A great store with a weak or non-transferable lease is a problem you inherit.

Smoke Shop
California, United States
CA, US
This is an established smoke shop & soda bar lounge in Stanislaus County. Seller is claiming around $30k in monthly sales and they keep going up every month. Business is located in a very busy shopping center and is close to SSUS Campus with lots of foot and driving traffic. Neighboring tenants are a very busy sushi restaurant and a pizzeria. The shop carries everything you would find in a smoke shop and also has a soda bar where they make exotic handmade sodas and they also carry exotic snacks. Business is known for its excellent service and has a steady clientele. All 57 reviews on Yelp are five star ratings. Business was established in 2021 with the same owner for 3 years. Sales price includes all the equipment, furniture , fixtures and the Cigarette & Tobacco Retailer’s License. Excellent opportunity to own an established business. Building is about 2000 square feet and the rent is $2950 including NNN and the seller has 2 years left with another 5 year option to renew. Asking price is $90k, which doesn’t include inventory of $35k. Reason for the sale is the seller owns other multiple businesses and would rather focus on those so they are very motivated and will entertain all offers. Seller is very motivated to sell and will accept all respectable offers. Seller has done all the footwork and is ready to hand the buyer the keys. The hardest part is getting the license and setting up an establishment and the seller has done all of that. Tobacco licenses are getting harder to get in California due to restrictions. Don't pass up on the easiest business to run. Inventory will be included in the asking price to the right buyer.

Cannabis Store
California, United States
CA, US
Nestled in the Shasta Mountains, this beautiful, turn-key dispensary is an actual store front where you are greeted by a professional, knowledgeable staff who make the shopping experience easy and pleasant. The sellers spared no expense on the building, spending over $150k to make this dispensary into the gem that it is. All licenses are up to date and the sellers worked profusely with the City and the local Sheriff’s office to have everything up to code. Asking price includes: -All shelves and display cases -Security cameras and a fortified safe for keeping all inventory from theft or robbery -POS At this time the store runs with 4 employees and 1 manager and the operating hours are 11am-7pm. New buyer can come in and change the hours to bring in more revenue. The store is located close to the I-5 corridor, so advertising on the freeway would be easy. Adding delivery service is a good option, as there is no such business within a 30 mile radius. This city is also a tourist hotspot for fishing, hiking and swimming in the popular local waterholes, making delivery services ideal. The business is for sale w/ property, so a potential buyer can use the license to set up delivery services anywhere in the Northern California region. All the buyer would have to do is have the Dispensary as the base hub. All financials and books will be shown and discussed with a vetted buyer only. My seller is a very busy entrepreneur and who does not have time for tire kickers. Please be prepared to sign an NDA and show proof of funds. If you’ve ever wanted to get into the cannabis business, then this is your foot in the door. Please let me know if you have any questions. Asking price-$1,040,000-Inventory is not included and can be purchased for $80k

What to know about retail business acquisitions
GW
Cofounder & CEO
Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating retail business acquisitions.
Value the inventory carefully
Establish what inventory is included, how it is valued, and how much is dead or seasonal stock. Inventory is often a large and negotiable part of the price.
Verify sales and margins at the register
Reconcile point-of-sale data against bank deposits and tax returns. Understand gross margin by category and how discounting affects it.
Assess foot traffic and the trade area
Location quality, nearby anchors, and parking drive walk-in revenue. Visit at different times and check that the trade area still supports the business.
Map supplier terms and concentration
Exclusive brands, supplier credit, and minimum order sizes affect both margin and risk. Make sure those relationships transfer to a new owner.
Clarify owner and staff roles
Owner-run stores often lean on the owner relationships and hours. Understand staffing, turnover, and what it costs to operate without the seller.
