Growth/Expansion:
This locally owned and operated liquor package store is located right off of the main highway in town. As a result, its customers have easy access to this neighborhood store, which is the largest liquor package store in town. Business does have the lottery, which brings in customers for other purchases. This also keeps customers from making two stops or even going somewhere else. The business’s newest addition is a « through the wall » ATM. This really is bringing in a whole new crowd. It is accessible 24 hours a day. Top of the line GenMega 5000.

The year 2018 showed an approximately 11% increase in annual revenue over 2017, which was mostly due to the new ATM machine that was installed during year and also to lottery ticket sales. In addition, the railroad is building the largest switch yard in the US just outside of town. The business now sees new customers every day, and maybe the new switch yard is a reason for this, along with the new ATM machine and lottery ticket purchasing. The projection for 2019 is that the business will generate over $900,000 in annual revenue.

Notes -> Liquor stores having annual gross revenues of over $800,000 (like this one) are very much in demand and sell quickly. Well-capitalized stores (like this one) can purchase inventory at top tier « drops » and obtain the best bulk deals from distributors. High grossing stores in proven locations (like this one) are very hard to replicate. Good liquor businesses are in high demand, with far more buyers than sellers.
