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.

The business has built a loyal customer base from both local residents and customers specifically seeking authentic Eastern European and Balkan offerings.

The specialty grocery and prepared foods industry continues to see growing demand as consumers increasingly seek authentic international products, homemade meal options, and locally owned businesses.

Large Liquor, Grocery & Deli
San Mateo County, California, United States
San Mateo County, CA, US
Here is a rare opportunity for an experienced operator to take over a large, established neighborhood liquor, grocery, and deli location in the heart of San Mateo County. This freestanding building with a large private parking lot has served the surrounding community for approximately 40 years as a neighborhood one-stop destination. The property has historically accommodated groceries, liquor, deli, and other neighborhood services. After decades of serving the community, the owner has retired and is now ready to lease the premises to a qualified new operator who has the experience, vision, and financial ability to bring this location back to its full potential. HUGE UPSIDE FOR THE RIGHT OPERATOR The store is approximately 4,980 square feet and offers tremendous potential for an operator willing to perform cosmetic improvements, modernize the store, and invest in inventory. With the right merchandising, product selection, marketing, and management, this location has the potential to generate substantial monthly sales. An experienced operator may be able to build sales toward the $250,000–$350,000 per month range, although no sales level is guaranteed. The location already has several valuable features in place, including: Existing liquor license Approximately a 14-door walk-in cooler Large grocery and liquor retail area Dedicated deli area Separate space that could potentially be developed into a small restaurant, specialty food concept, or ice cream shop, subject to required approvals Large upstairs storage/office area Private bathroom and shower Excellent customer parking Freestanding building with strong visibility Approximately 4,980 square feet BELOW-MARKET RENT & EXCELLENT LEASE TERMS One of the biggest advantages of this opportunity is the proposed rent. The landlord is offering the premises at approximately $3.00 per square foot, or about $14,940 per month, compared with the owner's estimate of approximately $4.00 per square foot for comparable space in the area. For a qualified operator, the landlord is prepared to offer a 7-year lease plus two additional 5-year options, providing the stability needed to invest in the location and build a long-term business. IDEAL FOR AN EXPERIENCED OPERATOR This is not simply a small liquor store. It is a large-format neighborhood retail opportunity that could combine liquor, grocery, deli, specialty foods, and other complementary concepts under one roof. The location needs cosmetic improvements and substantial new inventory, which is exactly where the opportunity lies. A capable operator can redesign the store, improve the product mix, modernize the deli, and create a destination business for the surrounding community. The landlord is seeking a qualified, experienced operator. Prospective tenants should be prepared to provide proof of funds and evidence of relevant operating experience. After approximately 40 years at this location, the property is ready for its next chapter.

Historic Alaska Gift, Jewelry & Art Retailer | Prime Downtown Location
Alaska, United States
AK, US
Exceptional opportunity to acquire a highly established Alaska tourism retail business with downtown location in a premier cruise-port destination. This well-known gift, jewelry, souvenir, apparel, and Alaskan art retailer has operated for more than a century and has been owned by the current family operators for over 40 years. The owners are preparing for retirement and are seeking a buyer who can continue the legacy while modernizing and expanding the platform. The business is located in the heart of historic downtown location, within walking distance of major visitor attractions, the small boat harbor, and cruise passenger traffic. The operation occupies a large 12,000+ square-foot retail building with multiple departments, including authentic Alaskan art and carvings, jewelry, gifts, apparel, books, souvenirs, and locally sourced handcrafted merchandise. Product offerings range from affordable keepsakes to higher-value original artwork, creating broad appeal across tourists, cruise passengers, RV travelers, and local customers. Financial performance has been strong and consistent despite the business being operated primarily during the May-to-September tourism season. Revenue was approximately $1.59 million in 2025, with adjusted EBITDA of approximately $512,000. Gross margins have remained attractive, and the business has historically generated meaningful cash flow with minimal advertising spend and no current e-commerce platform. A buyer may have opportunities to increase revenue through online sales, digital marketing, extended seasonal or year-round operations, phone orders, improved exterior presentation, and better monetization of the residence and adjacent parcel. The business benefits from long-standing supplier and artist relationships, a broad merchandise mix, low customer concentration, and limited key-employee dependency. Current owners manage purchasing, inventory, staffing, maintenance, and registers, supported by a small seasonal staff. A buyer will receive a proven retail platform, established vendor introductions, included base inventory, and a transition period from the sellers.

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.
