Liquor stores

Liquor stores for sale in Texas

4 stores selling liquor are for sale right now, from $749K to $1.5M, plus inventory.

Package stores and combos

These are Texas package stores sold on their own, and stations where liquor is a big share of sales. Several come with the real estate; one includes a second rentable unit.

The permit comes first

A Texas package store permit belongs to the owner, not the building, so a buyer applies for a new one. TABC estimates about 45 to 60 days, and the city or county has to certify the application first. Make the permit a condition of closing so you never pay for a store you can't open.

Wet and dry areas

Texas lets counties, cities and precincts vote on alcohol sales, so a store can be the only one for miles. That protects margin, but check the local option status and the distance rules near schools and churches before you buy.

Questions

What buyers ask

How much does a liquor store cost in Texas?

Across the 4 stores Realtor Punya has listed in Texas, asking prices run from $749K to $1.5M, with a median of $1.1M, before inventory. Smaller and value-add stores sit at the low end; larger stores sold with the land and building at the high end.

How long does a TABC permit take?

TABC estimates about 45 to 60 days, depending on the permit type and how quickly the city or county certifies the application. Start as soon as the contract is signed.

Can I get an SBA loan for a liquor store?

Yes. Liquor stores can be financed with SBA 7(a) loans, and a store sold with its building can use the real estate as collateral. Lenders usually make permit approval a condition of funding.

Why isn't the exact address on the listing?

Owners selling a store usually don't want staff, customers or their fuel supplier to hear about it before the deal is done. Each listing shows the town or the drive time from a nearby city; the address, a tour and the full financials come after a first call, a signed NDA and proof of funds.
