    Rare opportunity to acquire a well-established liquor store with strong and growing profitability. The business generated $1.3M in actual trailing-twelve-month revenue with seller-reported net earnings of $182K over the same period — and continues to grow month over month — all while benefiting from exceptionally LOW RENT of only $4,100 per month. Operating successfully for more than 10 years, this turnkey business is situated in a high-exposure retail plaza in Airdrie with strong vehicle traffic, excellent visibility, and consistent foot traffic from surrounding residential communities and neighbouring businesses. Revenue growth has accelerated meaningfully over the past year, driven by a wholesale channel that continues to set new monthly highs alongside a steady, loyal retail customer base. All wholesale revenue is deposited directly to the business bank account, with full statements available for buyer verification during due diligence. The efficient footprint keeps operations manageable while maximizing profitability. Sale includes fixtures, shelving, POS systems, and operational equipment for a seamless transition to new ownership. Approximately $300,000 +/- in inventory is sold separately at cost. Opportunities offering this combination of revenue momentum, attractive earnings, low occupancy costs, established operations, and long-term stability are rarely available. Confidential sale. NDA required prior to release of financial statements, business name, and location details. Qualified buyers only. Proof of financial capacity or lender pre-approval required before confidential information will be provided. DO NOT APPROACH STAFF OR CUSTOMERS.

    An exceptional opportunity to acquire one of the most unique and difficult-to-replicate retail businesses in SW Calgary. Situated in a premier, high-traffic location, this established convenience store stands apart from the competition by holding a rare liquor licence—a highly coveted asset that is increasingly difficult to secure and significantly enhances the business's value, profitability, and long-term growth potential. This turnkey operation occupies approximately ±1,200 sq. ft. and features a professionally completed interior build-out with quality fixtures, equipment, and improvements required for immediate operation (inventory excluded). In addition to traditional convenience retail, the business also offers vape products, creating multiple complementary revenue streams while the liquor licence provides a distinct competitive advantage that very few convenience stores can offer. With current rent of approximately $6,200 per month, this is an outstanding opportunity for owner-operators, entrepreneurs, or investors seeking a proven business in one of Calgary's most desirable southwest communities. The combination of an established customer base, premium location, turnkey improvements, and the rarity of the liquor licence makes this a truly exceptional acquisition opportunity. Opportunities of this calibre rarely become available. Business name, financial information, and additional details will be provided upon execution of a confidentiality agreement (NDA). Please do not approach staff or disturb business operations. More details

Liquor Stores for Sale

Explore Liquor Stores in Calgary

Calgary’s liquor retail market includes everything from small neighborhood stores to large-format outlets serving high-traffic commercial zones. Many listings feature long-term leases, modern shelving, walk-in coolers, and point-of-sale systems ready for immediate operation. Buyers benefit from steady year-round demand, especially in established communities and near major intersections. Locations with strong parking access and nearby food businesses or gas stations tend to outperform smaller, isolated stores.

Calgary Liquor Store Market Overview

The liquor retail sector in Calgary continues to perform steadily, supported by Alberta’s deregulated model that allows private ownership of retail liquor stores. Business valuations typically range from $250K to $1.2M, depending on size, revenue, and lease terms. High-volume stores near residential hubs such as Martindale, Seton, and Signal Hill maintain consistent sales, while smaller boutique shops focusing on craft beer and wine attract premium clientele. The province’s flat tax system and competitive wholesale pricing further strengthen profit margins.

Investment Insights

Owning a liquor store in Calgary offers strong operational stability and minimal staffing needs. Investors often favor these businesses for predictable income and low failure rates compared to other retail categories. Key factors influencing profitability include product mix, location visibility, and inventory control. Well-branded stores with loyalty programs and strong supplier relationships tend to outperform. For absentee owners, hiring experienced managers ensures consistent performance while maintaining compliance with AGLC regulations.

FAQ's

What are the licensing requirements for owning a liquor store in Calgary?
Buyers must obtain approval from the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC), which regulates ownership transfers and store operations.

How profitable are liquor stores in Calgary?
Profit margins typically range from 15% to 25%, depending on size, volume, and pricing strategy. Stores with high foot traffic and strong product variety perform best.

Are liquor store hours regulated in Alberta?
Yes. Stores generally operate between 10 AM and 2 AM, but hours can vary based on municipal bylaws and business preference.

Can a liquor store be operated remotely or semi-absentee?
Yes. Many owners delegate day-to-day operations to trusted managers, though oversight and inventory audits remain essential.

What should buyers look for before purchasing a liquor store?
Key factors include lease terms, sales consistency, location traffic, and condition of coolers, shelving, and POS systems.

Are there restrictions on store proximity to competitors?
Yes. The AGLC enforces minimum distance requirements between liquor stores to prevent oversaturation in a single area.
