Facilities: Includes Full size refrigerated pastry display case, a merchandiser for cold beverages that we own and another one that Coca Cola supplies. A coffee station with keurig and fresh brewed pots. Store is complete with display racks and shelves for products. A cafe room for relaxing with their beverage and pastries or snacks. Two restrooms. And much more.

Competition: Perfect timing. The long standing Scotchman was the main area convenience store and it closed last month because a Hotel bought them out to tear down and build a Hotel. Scotchman sold beer, wine, lotto, cigarettes snacks and more. Now we have a beer and wine license. As long as you qualify for it the location has been approved. There isn’t really much souvenir competition at our end of East Bay but plenty of attractions for traffic, that’s why we wanted this location.

Growth & Expansion: The second floor is the same size and we are only subletting 2 small offices to a tenant for $1000 a month that I imagine would want to stay on if you want. The landlord does allow subletting with approval. ‘The upstairs would make an excellent little bistro of some type or expand product for the store. Plenty of possibilities.

Support & Training: We can provide 30 days if needed for questions.

Reason for Selling: Partner that has been operating the daily business will not be able to continue.
