Historic Guinda Corner Store

Historic Guinda Corner Store: Only Grocery Provider in Capay Valley

The Guinda Corner Store is a historic landmark and the primary community hub for the Capay Valley. Built in 1891 , this legacy business holds a monopoly location, serving as the only provider of groceries, fuel, and essential goods for the town of Guinda and the

surrounding rural population. The nearest major grocery competition is over 20 minutes away.

Strategic Location: Captive Audience: Strategically situated on Highway 16, the store captures significant tourist traffic. It is the last stop for over 500 weekly summer visitors, including campers, fishermen, hunters, and hikers, heading to the only overnight campground in Yolo County, which is 7 miles north. The location benefits from traffic to the Cache Creek Casino and draws thousands during the annual Capay Valley Almond Festival. The store currently generates approximately $500,000 in annual gross revenue.

Turnkey Operation, Significant Goodwill: This is a fully staffed, turnkey operation with long-established relationships with all major vendors and local suppliers. This 'goodwill' is a significant operational advantage, as the store is a 110-year-old staple ingrained in the local identity. The sale includes a Type 20 Beer & Wine Liquor License and a recurring government contract with Yolo County Parks for reliable income.

Growth Opportunities Await: A new owner could potentially increase revenue by:

• Expanding operating hours (Current hours: Summer: 10am–7pm; Winter: 10am–6pm).

• Introducing "Grab & Go" food options for rafters and casino traffic.

• Implementing a basic social media marketing strategy to target the Camping and Rafting demographic.

• Capitalizing on the property's space to host community events.

• Increasing fuel sales by utilizing the space available for adding gas pumps.
