Webster Bait & Tackle Shop is a well-established retail store offering bait, tackle, groceries, and convenience items. Located at the northern edge of Webster Lake, it sits adjacent to Webster State Park. You can easily access it just off US Highway 24 at the entrance to the park along Road 9 in Rooks County, Kansas. It is situated on 2.20+/- acres of private land overlooking Webster Lake.

The Bait & Tackle Shop includes a 60’x70’ retail convenience store built in 1988 with 4,200 square feet, of which 3,300 square feet is finished. They sell a variety of products including: bait, tackle, poles, sporting goods, ammunition, snacks, sandwiches, beer, soda, water, ice, camping equipment, coolers, grills, gas, and much more. Additionally, there are tables for customers to sit, eat, drink, socialize, watch TV, and unwind. This is a rare opportunity to buy a deeded tract of land and improvements located adjacent to Webster Lake and Webster State Park, operating as a turn-key business. The sale includes all inventory, furniture, fixtures, and equipment as of the closing date. The current owners will assist the buyer during a transition period to ensure a smooth handover, covering aspects such as business operations, supply ordering, and the application for necessary licenses. For serious inquiries, three years of pro forma income and expense data is available. The potential for business expansion is vast, particularly given the limited number of convenience stores and food and drink establishments nearby. This presents an excellent opportunity to attract both lake visitors and local customers from the surrounding areas.

Located just to the north of the Bait & Tackle shop is a charming, well-kept, move-in-ready manufactured home built in 1998 that features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a large living room with a wood-burning fireplace, a large kitchen, and a laundry room. There is a 12’x35’ wood deck on the front and a 12’x25’ covered wood deck on the back with a TV hookup and a newly built fenced-in yard for those evenings to watch the sunset and relax. Just north of the house, there’s a detached three-stall garage that includes a spacious shop measuring 30’ x 48’ (1,440 square feet), equipped with two 8-foot-tall overhead doors and one 10-foot overhead door to accommodate all your storage needs.

Located on the west side of this property is land that has been utilized as a paid storage space for RVs, campers, and boats. In this area, bait and tackle shops are few and far between, creating a strong market for this business with many repeat customers, as well as new ones who frequently visit. This is a fantastic opportunity to enter a long-standing, successful business and become your own boss. Schedule a showing today; you won’t want to miss this rare chance to be right by the lake!
