Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this well-established Post Office and convenience store, which has been in our clients' hands since 2006 and which is only now being placed on the market due to their wish to retire. The business is run at a pace to suit our clients' lifestyle and generates a healthy turnover in the region of £633,000 per annum with a gross profit of 27% and a Post Office salary of £45,000 per annum. The turnover is derived from the sale of general convenience lines and newspapers and magazines. There is scope for a new owner to increase turnover by perhaps, expanding the newspaper delivery rounds, which are currently limited to within 6 miles, and by extending the opening hours. Our clients have invested in all new chiller equipment and ice cream freezer at a cost of £17,000 and no further investment should be required for some considerable time. There is a spacious 5-bedroom house attached offering quality family accommodation. We feel this offers an unique opportunity to acquire a thriving business in such a sought after area and with scope for further growth. Early discussions with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
