Turnkey Monterey Peninsula Liquor Store-Fully-Built & Ready to Operate

Monterey Peninsula, California
299,000
Have you ever dreamed of owning your own neighborhood liquor store? Imagine skipping the months (or even years) of permits, construction, delays, and endless decisions—and instead unlocking the door to your very own beautifully built store in just days.

This charming boutique liquor store is the rare opportunity every aspiring owner hopes to find: Fully established and ready for its next chapter. It offers all the advantages of a fresh start up without the growing pains—and for less than it would cost to build one from the ground up.

Designed with the neighborhood in mind, this inviting 921-square-foot store makes a big impression in a compact footprint. Every inch has been thoughtfully planned, featuring attractive custom shelving and seven spacious, virtually brand-new refrigerated display units. The current selection includes beer, wine, premium spirits, and an excellent assortment of craft beers, creating a welcoming shopping experience that keeps customers coming back.

Located in a busy shopping center, the store enjoys outstanding visibility, steady foot traffic, and abundant customer parking. Even better, an attractive assumable lease is offered.

One of the best features? This is a business that can comfortably be operated by a single owner, making it an ideal opportunity for an entrepreneur seeking independence, flexibility, and room to grow.

Even more exciting, there are several easy opportunities to increase revenue, including:
+ Adding California Lottery sales
+ Offering fresh grab-and-go sandwiches and snacks
+ Expanding product offerings to meet neighborhood demand

The current owners are selling due to personal reasons, creating an exceptional opportunity for someone else to step in and continue building on this strong foundation.
Businesses like this rarely become available—especially ones that are beautifully designed and priced below replacement cost.

If you’ve been waiting for the perfect opportunity to own your own liquor store, this could be the one.
