Profitable Wine Shop

Overview

This well-established boutique wine retailer offers a carefully curated selection of small-production, artisan wines from Oregon, throughout the United States, Europe, and other international regions. Founded in 2009, the business has developed an excellent local reputation, a loyal customer base, established supplier relationships, and an engaged email list of approximately 700 subscribers. The shop currently operates limited hours and is managed primarily by the owner. Despite the intentionally limited schedule and minimal advertising, it has remained profitable and generated more than $1.1 million in gross sales during the past five years. The streamlined operating model is ideal for an owner-operator, while offering substantial growth potential through expanded hours, weekly tastings, wine-bar service, private events, wine dinners, online ordering, social media, and further development of the existing wine club. The business occupies an attractive, turnkey retail space in a highly walkable location near restaurants, hotels, entertainment venues, public parking, and a popular farmers market. Base rent is exceptionally favorable at approximately $525 per month, providing an occupancy cost that would be difficult to replicate. The sale includes the business name and goodwill, custom wine shelving and fixtures, furnishings and decor, signage, website and digital assets, customer and newsletter lists, and other transferable operating assets. Saleable wine inventory will be purchased separately at the seller's wholesale cost. The seller is ready to retire and spend more time with family.
