This business was first established in 2022 as a smoke shop, It is veteran-owned and operated. The store was recently remodeled and converted to a beer & wine shop in 2023 with a Type 20 license, but it still sells smoke products. Smoking Vets has also established an online store that can provide curbside pick-up for sales, delivery would also be an option down the road. The store has a steady revenue and customer base and is fully licensed and permitted by ABC and Stanislaus County Environmental Services. The store is also currently in the process of being approved for EBT sales, which is another income generator. The store has great potential and needs a dedicated owner that has the time and energy to make it great! The owner is a dedicated husband and father of three, his wife is a recent cancer survivor and has decided to attend graduate school, and the owner wants to be more available for his family during this transitional time.
The Type 20 license requires a state and federal background check, if approved the sale of the license is included in the price. All inventory and equipment are also included in the sale, inventory is done regularly and all products in the store are up to date and fresh. The commercial complex owner is established, utilizes a property management company for rent and building maintenance needs, and will establish a new lease upon sale.
Current hours of operations are Monday–Saturday from 10 a.m.–11 p.m. There is potential for a Sunday revenue stream, and hours with the Type 20 license allow for hours of alcohol sales to be from 8 am to 11 pm, so hours of operations can be adjusted.
The owner is a motivated seller; please contact them if interested.
