Sell your liquor store for what it's really worth
We prepare your store, find a qualified buyer and handle the sale through closing. If you own the building and land, we sell those too, in the same deal.

Help for sellers and buyers
Whether you're ready to retire or ready to grow, we know Texas liquor stores and the rules that come with them.

We find what a buyer will question, help you fix it, then market your store privately to buyers we've already qualified.
How selling worksBuy or expand
We bring you stores before they're listed and research counties and sites for your next location.
Buying with usPermits and licensing
The TABC permit doesn't transfer, so every buyer applies fresh. Our licensing specialists keep that on schedule.
Licensing helpFour steps from first call to closing
Readiness audit
We review your books, lease, permit and stock and tell you what your store could sell for today.
Get ready
We help you fix the things that lower the price, in the order that adds the most.
Find the buyer
We take your store to qualified buyers who sign a confidentiality agreement first.
Close
We negotiate, manage due diligence and the buyer's TABC permit, and get you to closing.
The store and the property, sold by one team
Most business brokers can't sell real estate, and most real estate agents don't know liquor stores. We do both.
- Licensed Texas real estate advisor on every deal, with Compass as broker, so your building and land can sell with the store.
- Buyers already looking, from first-time owners to groups adding their next store.
- Your sale stays private. Buyers learn your store's name only after signing an NDA.
- Licensing handled by specialists we work with, so closing doesn't stall on paperwork.

Common questions
What does it cost?
We go through our fees on the first call, in plain numbers, before you sign anything. The sale fee is a percentage paid at closing, out of the proceeds.
Will my staff or customers find out?
Only if you tell them. We market your store without its name, and buyers sign a confidentiality agreement and show proof of funds before they learn which store it is.
How long does a sale take?
Published data puts the median US liquor store sale at about 168 days once listed. That is an indicative industry figure, not a promise for your store. Good preparation shortens that, and the buyer's TABC permit sets the closing date.
Does my liquor permit go to the buyer?
No. In Texas the buyer applies to TABC for a permit in their own name. We bring in licensing specialists early so the application doesn't hold up closing.
I own the building. Can you sell that too?
Yes. Jeffrey is a licensed Texas real estate advisor with Compass, so the store, the building and the land can sell in one deal, or you can sell the store and lease the building to the buyer.
Is the online estimate accurate?
No. It is an indicative, non-binding estimate based on what more than a thousand US liquor stores sold for. It is not an offer, appraisal or guarantee. Your real price depends on your books, lease, location and buyer, which the readiness audit looks at.
