You Can Buy a Tucson Hookah Lounge on Craigslist—No, Seriously

Posted By on Fri, Feb 20, 2015 at 2:14 PM


After less than a year of running Tru Vibe Lounge Hookah & Vapors, Adam Brock is putting his hookah and e-cigarette business up for sale, but not in the way that you might think. On Wednesday, Feb. 18, Brock posted an ad via Craigslist to help draw attention to the sale of his business, which is located at 22nd Street and Wilmot Road.

"It was more of just a way to make a public announcement quickly," he says. "I'm not dedicated to idea of it selling through Craigslist, but I'm hoping to make some contacts."

The lounge's LLC, along with all of the shop's assets, are on sale for a listed asking price of $25,000. Brock says the decision to sell came after about three and a half months of renovation to try to convert the head shop into a medical marijuana club.

"I can't afford to float it anymore because I had to close it during renovation," Brock says. "I've basically been living off of credit cards."

He says that in the future he hopes to open an MMJ patient lounge elsewhere, but it'll take time. Until then, interested parties can contact Brock through the Craigslist ad, which lists all of the following incentives in the asking price:
