You should allow a minimum of $165,000 for inventory. A good two register computer based checkout system will run $4,000 for hardware. 2 pc s, monitors, barcode scanners, keyboards, receipt printers, credit card scanner. POS software will be around $2-3,000. (But a good system is essential for keeping your inventory straight and printing sales reports) Your shelving and display equipment will be in the area of $6,000 (look for used) A 5 door beer cooler (used) will run you about $2,000 and another $2,00 for installation and wiring. The compressor system will be about $3000 installed. You are probably going to want a glass breakage and motion detection alarm system installed - $2,500. And - a good 4 camera computer based instore security camera system with hardware/softward will be about $2,000. I hope this helps.
alotyou need to figure the cost of the building, liquor license, taxes, distributor costs, overhead, etc...but remember, booze is a 600 - 800% mark up from retail, so you could stand to make some money
first off you need to be able to get a liquor license...those cost about $2500.00 or more...so look up your state laws to see what you need..besides a license, a store, shelving, liquor ( a distributor ), all the other stuff, food, mixers, etc...
50-100k with most of that going into inventory. If you look at business listing you will find a lot of them for sale. Not a lot of money in the smaller ones you see in strip malls.
