Colorado Resort Liquor Store Opportunity For Sale

Business description

Located in the bustling Steamboat Springs Curve Plaza shopping center, this well laid out, 3,750 square foot liquor store has been positioned well to dominate the west Steamboat liquor market. Sandwiched between Ace Hardware, Steamboat’s local home improvement and commercial building center, and the highly successful Big House Burgers restaurant, this liquor store successfully augments its loyal customer base with impulse shoppers patronizing these businesses or one of the several other businesses of Curve Plaza. Additionally it is located at the intersection of US Highway 40 and Colorado Route 129, the funnel point for all summer traffic going to the north Routt County attractions of Steamboat Lake, Pearl Lake, and Hahns Peak Lake State Parks. As such, significant beer and ice business is captured from this clientele.
