This liquor store deal includes the building and land in the $919,000 price. It is open limited hours so you could be open at least 3 more hours a day. This is a long term owner that wants to retire. 2025 sales were about $1,000,000. That number does not include lottery sales. There are a ton of cooler doors and they are in great shape. The inventory is very high and there is a huge selection for the customer. The building has had many upgrades. Contact Jeff Highfill.
