Unique Investment Opportunity: Niche Licensed Specialist with High Growth Potential.
Are you looking for a lifestyle business with a solid foundation and massive room for expansion? This is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-established, licensed specialist shop that has carved out a unique niche in the local market. Currently operating on a part-time basis, this business is primed for an energetic new owner to take it to the next level.
The Business at a Glance
This isn't your average convenience store. This is a curated destination for enthusiasts of fine wines, craft, Whisky and Ci**rs.
• The Niche: A growing market of specialist selection Cuban and New World ci**rs, paired with a high-quality range of whiskies, fine wines, and craft beers.
• Proven Track Record: This business has been consistently profitable since opening 5 years ago, demonstrating resilience and a loyal customer base.
• The License: Exceptional flexibility with a license to trade 10:00 am to 20:00 pm, 7 days a week. Off premises 08:00 am to 23:00 pm 7 days a week.
• Wholesale Ready: The business holds a rare AWRS (Alcohol Wholesaler Registration Scheme) licence. It already supplies two small businesses, providing a proven framework for a major B2B expansion.
• Current Performance: Generating a consistent profit on just 22 hours of operation per week.
• Maximum Flexibility: The business is free of all contractual ties. Notably, the premises are held on a month-by-month rental basis, offering a low-risk entry and the ultimate freedom to operate or relocate as you see fit.
Why This is a "Diamond in the Rough"
The current owner is retiring, leaving behind a business that has been maintained as a steady, low-intensity operation. For a buyer with vision, the "low-hanging fruit" for growth is significant:
1. Scale the Wholesale Arm With the AWRS licence already in place, there is a massive opportunity to become a specialist supplier to local bars, restaurants, and hotels looking for premium ci**rs and craft spirits.
2. Extend the Retail Hours The business currently utilizes less than 30% of its licensed hours. Simply opening full-time could significantly increase footfall and revenue.
3. Relaunch Home Delivery In the past, home delivery was a highly successful revenue stream. Reintroducing this service would tap into a lucrative and convenient market.
4. Digital & E-commerce Expansion The sale includes an established website that provides the perfect skeleton for a full e-commerce platform. By updating the site and engaging in digital marketing, you could sell these niche products nationwide.
The Perfect Opportunity
Whether you are looking for a profitable "side hustle" that you can scale, or a full-time venture in the premium drinks and to***co industry, this business offers the perfect entry point. It has the licenses, the wholesale credentials, the stock niche, and a 5-year history of profit—it just needs a fresh set of eyes and a bit of energy.
