Absentee-owned Liquor Store For Sale

This established liquor store in rural south-central Kansas offers a rare opportunity to acquire a recession-resistant, absentee-owned business with strong sales, excellent visibility, and a loyal customer base. Founded in 2020, the store is fully staffed with a reliable manager and trained employees who handle day-to-day operations, allowing the owners to remain largely hands-off. The business benefits from its prime location on a high-traffic highway and maintains an impressive inventory averaging $470,000. The 2,000 sq. ft. building—fully renovated in 2021—sits on an oversized lot with ample parking, including a portion leased to a neighboring retailer for additional income. The facility also features a convenient drive-thru window and a clean, organized retail floor that enhances customer experience. With approximately 40% market share in the local area and minimal competition, the store is well-positioned for continued performance. Additional marketing or expanded product lines could unlock further growth. Financials reflect consistent revenue above $1.2M annually in recent years, with discretionary earnings approaching 11%. Real estate is available for purchase separately, offering an attractive long-term investment opportunity. This turnkey operation is ideal for both hands-on operators and absentee investors seeking a stable, profitable retail business.
