Tobacco & Gambling Store

The business is a specialty store selling tobacco, tobacco products, and gambling-related items, and is part of a national franchise chain. The store serves a loyal, returning customer base within its own catchment area.

Strengths

• A loyal customer base with high purchase frequency and immediate cash revenue.
• Located in a shopping center with a steady flow of foot traffic.
• Part of a national chain: purchasing advantages, chain support, and a fully equipped store layout.
• A compact business with a well-organized product selection, making it easy for an entrepreneur to run the business on their own.

Organization and Location
The store is located in a leased retail unit within a shopping center. The business can be operated in its current form by a single entrepreneur.

Opportunities and growth possibilities 

• In the Netherlands, tobacco sales are increasingly concentrated in specialty stores. This shift gives established businesses the opportunity to expand their market share in their service area.
• Expansion of the convenience product range beyond tobacco and gambling products.
• More active promotion of lottery ticket sales to the existing flow of passersby.
