Diamond Bar, California
Full Liquor Store for Sale in the Walnut / Diamond Bar Area
$ 100,000
Looking for a buyer who is ready to acquire the business in its current condition, make the necessary repairs, and operate the store. This liquor store is located near the Walnut / Diamond Bar area and is approximately 2,500~2,580 sq. ft. This location was previously operated as a convenience store and was later converted into a liquor store after obtaining an ABC Type 21 Full Liquor License, allowing the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits. Lotto is also available. The store currently requires repairs, replacement, or maintenance to some of its refrigeration systems and former convenience store equipment. Some refrigeration equipment, including the walk-in cooler, is not operating properly, and certain existing equipment, including the fountain drink machine, hot dog machine, and other equipment, is either not currently being used or requires servicing. This is not a business being offered at a high premium based on its current operations or short-term income. It is an opportunity for a buyer to acquire the Full Liquor License, existing facilities, spacious store, and location at a reasonable price, then make the necessary repairs, restock the inventory, and revitalize the business. *The location is near Walnut / Diamond Bar. *The store size is approximately 2,500~2,580 sq. ft. *The monthly base rent is $5,191. *The monthly CAM is $760. *The total monthly rent is approximately $5,951. *An ABC Type 21 Full Liquor License is included. *Lotto is available. *The store is spacious and has ample parking. *The walk-in cooler and existing fixtures and equipment are included. *Some facilities and equipment require repair or maintenance. *This is an Asset Sale being offered in its current condition. This opportunity is suitable for a buyer who is prepared to inspect the current condition, repair or replace the necessary facilities and equipment, and reorganize and operate the store. We are looking for a buyer who fully understands the current condition of the store and is willing to make a reasonable offer based on the value of the Full Liquor License, existing facilities, location, and store size. The seller is serious about selling. If a realistic and reasonable offer is submitted and accepted by the seller, the parties intend to open escrow promptly and proceed with the sale without unnecessary delays. The seller is willing to seriously consider reasonable offers, but proposals to take over only the lease without paying for the business, or extremely low offers in the range of $10,000 or $20,000, will not be considered. The seller has made a substantial investment in obtaining the Full Liquor License and operating the business. The seller will also be responsible for broker commissions and escrow expenses in connection with the sale. Therefore, proposals that effectively ask the seller to give away the business or transfer only the lease will not be accepted. This is not a traditional income-producing business opportunity priced based on historical sales or net profit. This is an Asset Sale being evaluated based on the current condition of the premises, the ABC Type 21 Full Liquor License, existing equipment and fixtures, store size, and location. Therefore, this opportunity may not be suitable for buyers who require tax returns, long-term profit and loss statements, or proof of high profitability as a condition of their review. We are looking for a buyer who understands the current condition, is capable of revitalizing the business through necessary repairs and reinvestment, and is prepared to acquire it promptly at a reasonable price.

The Central Valley — including Fresno, Bakersfield, and Sacramento — remains the state's agricultural backbone, supporting a consistent market for food production, distribution, and agriculture-adjacent businesses. The Inland Empire's logistics and distribution corridor, anchored by its proximity to the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, has become an active market for warehouse, transportation, and industrial service businesses. Smaller metro areas and coastal counties continue to support strong demand for laundromats, gas stations, liquor stores, and other everyday-service businesses that anchor local communities throughout the state.
