RetailA profitable liquor store operation serving the greater Tampa market since 1984. The company offers a full range of liquor store services, giving customers a single point of contact and driving healthy average tickets. Standard operating procedures are documented, making training and quality control straightforward. Most new business arrives through referrals and repeat customers, so paid acquisition remains an untapped lever. Day-to-day operations are handled by the team, with the owner focused on oversight and growth. A meaningful share of revenue comes from repeat and referral business built over many years of consistent service. Performance has been consistent year over year, with the most recent period among the strongest in the company's history. What began as a small operation in 1984 has grown steadily through referrals, repeat customers, and a reputation for doing the job right. A tenured team of 3 handles day-to-day operations; several key employees have been with the company for many years. The trade area is experiencing steady population and commercial growth, supporting long-term demand. The owner has stepped back from daily operations in recent years, and the business now runs semi-absentee. The business generates dependable cash flow with margins at or above industry benchmarks. The company has expanded its service area gradually over time and now serves customers throughout the surrounding counties. Demand is driven by non-discretionary need, making the business resilient in a range of economic conditions. The brand is well recognized locally, supported by years of consistent signage, vehicle wraps, and community involvement. Strong online reviews and word-of-mouth referrals drive a steady flow of new customers with minimal advertising spend. Ideal for a hands-on owner, or as an add-on acquisition for a regional player.
