U.S. business opportunity in Midwest — suitable for Canadian buyers exploring the E-2 Treaty Investor visa. All figures converted from USD to CAD at 1.3974 (Nov 2, 2026). Original asking price: US$400,000. This specialty beverage retailer and wholesaler operates two leased storefronts in affluent, high-traffic Midwest trade areas, with direct e-commerce, local delivery and a growing B2B wholesale channel. The Company sells a curated assortment in a fast-growing consumer beverage segment that recruits new buyers rather than cannibalizing existing ones. Assortment is selected on customer request and cultural momentum rather than distributor push, and the shops double as gathering spaces hosting launches, tastings and community events for beverage partners. Ownership is founder-led with no outside investors. The brand carries an audience out of proportion to the Company's size: roughly 5,500 customer emails, about 3,200 newsletter subscribers at a 51% open rate, a social following near 6,000, 200- plus events hosted and ten-plus earned media placements — with no paid advertising. Investment Highlights: • Growing and Improving. Revenue up 28% from 2023 to 2025 while gross margin improved from 32.5% to 43.0%. • Multiple Channels. Two retail locations, direct e-commerce and local delivery, seven active B2B wholesale accounts, and a regional natural-grocery placement. • Zero Advertising Spend. Effectively all customer acquisition to date has been organic, leaving paid demand generation entirely untapped. • Entrenched Supply. Eight distributor accounts, most three-plus years old, permitting small-quantity ordering and fast turns; direct wholesale permitted. • Turnkey Asset Package. Registered trademark, brand kit, two built-out leases, trained staff and documented systems convey at close. Established: 2022 Reason for sale: Sellers are pursuing other interests
