Description:
Greetings. I bought a dilapidated liquor store 5 years ago in Syracuse NY that had sales of about $40,000/yr. After two years of marketing, advertising, and word of mouth, I had to triple the store size. I have poured everything I own into it. I have a very faithful wine market and my one specialty is single malt scotches. I have a tremendous scotch following. This year I expect gross sales to fall in the $400k-$500k range. For the past three years, gross profit has been in 24%-27% range.
