I want to know what the procedure to opening a liquor store would be. About getting the license how long it takes anything and everything... Can anyone please give me an insight on starting my own business and opening a liquor store... Thank you

Anyone? How do I go about starting my own business?

I'm not sure about the license procedures, but I would suggest checking out the following sites for additional information.

At least looking at the following information would be a start.

DCP: Laws and Regulations

ARTICLE 100, Supplementary Regulations for Business and Industrial Zones

There's an adage in the drinks trade.
How do you make a small fortune in booze, start with a large one.

You need to research this long and hard and make sure you have some SERIOUS $$$$ backing in place.

Liquor sales are generally regulated by the state and/or municiplaity. You need a license to sell liquor. So your first stop would be city hall to see what the licensing requirements and processes are.

Next you have to check with wholesalers for what you need to establish an account with them.

At the same time you need to be looking for a location to set up shop.

I would suggest sba.gov and score.org as good resources.

Hello:

The best way would be to go to work in a liquor store and work your way up to manager.

If you have never worked in a liquor store, you can't learn to run one just because you want to.

Actually we want to own one... but thanks for the comment... Well the thing is My fiancée wants to open a small business up... his 1st thought was a liquor store I think that's what he really wants to do... does anyone have any other suggestions on any small business that would produce good income... we live in ct...

A liquor store requires a lot of licenses. For example in Atlanta, you will have about 3 to 6 months of working with zoning and community development before they will even allow or deny a zonning permit.

Then you will have to get ( like in Atlanta) state, county and city liquor license. It will be at least 9 months to 12 months just in planning.
