Converting an Existing Liquor Store into The Good Pour

For owners of independent liquor stores, the modern retail landscape can feel hopelessly competitive and overwhelming. What if you could revitalize your business, appeal to a new generation of consumers, and make a profound impact on your community — all without starting from scratch. 

That’s the incredible story of Jigz & Roshni Patel, our managing partners in Gainesville, Florida. For years, Jigz ran his family business, Jigz Liquor. But he had a vision for something more. Partnering with The Good Pour, Jigz embarked on a journey to transform his store into The Good Pour Gainesville. The result is a vibrant, 3,000-square-foot marketplace — double the size of the original store — that is no longer surviving, it’s now thriving.

Since its January 2024 opening, the store has seen a surge in sales and positive shift in customer demographic. Even more inspiring, it has generated tens of thousands of dollars in donations for our charity partners. This remarkable growth is a testament to our unique model: we provide the turnkey design, product partnerships, marketing support and technology that empower independent owners to do what they do best, only better.

The conversion process is designed to be as seamless as possible, allowing conversion franchisees to focus on their business while we provide the tools for success. You’ll gain access to better pricing and a curated selection of products that cater to today’s discerning customers, from bourbon enthusiasts to wine lovers. Our marketing expertise and promotional materials help you build a buzz in your local community, and our proprietary BOHO (Buy One, Help Others) software takes the guesswork out of philanthropic giving.

This is more than a business model — it’s a mission. The Good Pour elevates your store’s status in the community, transforming it into a beacon of giving and a hub for connection. When you partner with The Good Pour, you bring your hard work and passion to a proven system that turns transactions into celebrations and everyday sales into a force for good.
