What the study projects
Why a smoke shop is its own question
The highest-margin lines in many smoke shops ride on rules that change from session to session. A projection built on them can be wrong the day a law changes. So the study sizes only the stable base: traditional tobacco and accessories that are legal in every compliant state.
Everything volatile is listed as excluded optionality: real upside you can weigh, but never part of the projected sales. That keeps the number defensible in front of a landlord or a lender.
How it works
Enter the site address and describe the build. Site Scouts pulls the trade-area demographics, competition, and traffic for that exact location, runs the demand model, and returns a structured feasibility report — a clean PDF plus an interactive dashboard — from any US address, reviewed and released the same day, at a fraction of the cost of a traditional study.
Frequently asked questions
What is a smoke shop feasibility study?
An independent analysis that projects what a smoke / tobacco shop can do at a specific site — annual sales on the stable base and sales per square foot — from the trade area, the competing shops, and the store itself.
How much does a smoke shop feasibility study cost?
A Site Scouts smoke shop feasibility study is a flat $499 for any US address, reviewed and released the same day.
Does it include vape and hemp products?
Not in the projected number. Lines whose legality varies by state and changes often are flagged as excluded upside. The study is a benchmark-grade feasibility read, not legal or licensing advice — confirm local licensing and product rules independently.
