Exceptional opportunity to acquire the business and real estate of A-1 Liquor in Hayden, Colorado. Due to its US Highway 40 and Walnut Street location, along with great customer service and thoughtful product offerings, A-1 has built a loyal customer base and consistent revenue stream. The operation is community oriented and family owned and operated, allowing a buyer to step into a turn-key, hands-on retail business. Revenue is driven primarily by liquor sales, complemented by tobacco, vape and ice sales with the real estate providing a secondary revenue stream via two leased warehouse bays. All inventory, personal property and fixtures associated with A-1 Liquor are included in the sale, along with the 5,484 square foot retail building located on a 0.32-acre site. Growth opportunities include the potential to expand on-site liquor inventory storage, host tasting events, move into lottery sales, expand tobacco and vaping products and increase warehouse bay rents.
A-1 Liquor is the only liquor store within 17 to 25 miles and Hayden is a growing community. Approximately 240 rental units are currently coming online, and additional housing and commercial developments are in the pipeline. Speaking to the large commuter population driving the Yampa Valley and the easy on/off Highway 40 access, A-1 Liquor was voted No. 4 Best of the Boat (Steamboat) Liquor Store for 2025. The combination of business and real estate makes this an appealing acquisition for an industry buyer seeking an additional location or an individual retailer looking to fully leverage the strong customer base and growing Hayden community.
