Property Information

Real Estate:

Lease

Lease Terms:

The business operates from leased retail premises in central Lihue.
The current lease runs through August 2029 and includes a five-year extension option, subject to the lease terms and landlord approval.

Location:

The Wine Garden occupies a highly visible retail location in central Lihue on Kauai, Hawaii.
Its central position provides access to both local residents and visitors, distinguishing it from specialty wine retailers primarily located on the island's north and south shores.
The premises benefit from favorable rental terms and an established local customer base.

Premises Details:

The business operates from leased retail premises featuring custom shelving, cabinetry, wine racks, refrigeration equipment and specialist product displays.

The store is equipped for specialty wine, beer, cigar and gourmet food retailing, with refrigeration units, humidors, tables, signage and air-conditioning equipment.

Additional operational assets include point-of-sale and register equipment, a receipt printer, monitor and alarm system.

The premises offer an established retail environment with fixtures and equipment suited to the existing product range.

Business Operation

Management type:

This business is owner operated.

Expansion Potential:

Opportunities include increasing social media activity, developing targeted digital advertising and strengthening direct customer marketing.

The business's existing website, social media accounts and transferable Square customer data provide a foundation for expanding customer engagement and repeat purchases.

A new owner could introduce Sunday trading, develop special-order services, broaden the specialty food range and organize permitted wine-tasting events.

Additional growth may be achieved through expanded product offerings, subject to applicable licensing and regulatory approvals.

Competition / Market:

Kauai has a limited number of specialty wine retailers, with two competitors located primarily on the north and south shores.

The Wine Garden differentiates itself through its central Lihue location, competitive pricing, longstanding reputation and carefully curated selection of wines, imported and craft beers, premium cigars and gourmet products.

Established supplier relationships, personalized customer service and more than two decades of operating history further strengthen its market position.

Specialist licensing requirements and the availability of suitable, affordable retail premises create additional barriers to entry for new competitors.
