BLACKBURN - Convenience Store Well Established W/T £5,600 - £5,800 Huge

Blacks are pleased to present a firmly established convenience store and off licence located in Great Harwood near Blackburn, Lancashire.

Premier Store has been operating on St Huberts Road for many years and the current owner has managed the business since 1997. During that time, the business has provided a valued and reliable service to residents and has a large customer base. Due to external and unrelated business commitments, the current owner has largely managed Premier Store on a 50% hands on, 50% staff managed bases and due to increasing personal and business demands elsewhere, the business is now reluctantly for sale. Needless to say, this presents a wonderful opportunity for a new enthusiastic owner operator to push the business forward to the next level and maximise all the potential opportunities as an owner operator, or equally for an existing store owner looking to expand.

Externally, the building stands prominently on St Huberts Road, aided by its corner plot position, and has noticeable signage that has helped maintain brand awareness in the local area. Once inside this spacious building the true extent of the sales area can be fully appreciated.

Internally the building is extremely well fitted with extensive shelving allowing a high capacity of stock can be displayed. To the left of the main entrance is the counter with refrigerated deli display. There are several discrete areas for storage and a larger storage/kitchenette/office area leading to the yard and WC. The total interior has a bright, clean feel and is a popular choice amongst the locals.

Although the business has been trading for many years there are still plenty of potential opportunities to further increase the annual turnover. The business would benefit from a new owner with additional capacity to run the business on a hands on basis. In addition, Premier Store stocks one local newspaper, presenting another area for potential growth.

Premier Store would ideally suit a hands on owner operator who could drive the business forward with enthusiasm and build on the solid trading heritage laid down by the current owner. The competitive price, low rent and low running costs of this lockup premises makes this an equally appealing proposition for an owner looking to expand and increase the staff run aspect of the business.

It is rare that such a business with an enviable reputation comes to market and therefore early viewings are advised as an early completion is anticipated.
