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.

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

Owner currently has 5 employees, and is an absentee manager/owner, only having to manage this store about 10-15 hours/week. Store grosses over $2.5 million a year.

Reconcile point-of-sale data against bank deposits and tax returns. Understand gross margin by category and how discounting affects it.
Location quality, nearby anchors, and parking drive walk-in revenue. Visit at different times and check that the trade area still supports the business.
Exclusive brands, supplier credit, and minimum order sizes affect both margin and risk. Make sure those relationships transfer to a new owner.
Owner-run stores often lean on the owner relationships and hours. Understand staffing, turnover, and what it costs to operate without the seller.
