STALYBRIDGE - Recently Closed Grocers Ideal Location Suits Most Trades O

This is a great opportunity to acquire a recently closed fruiterer/grocers located in Stalybridge, Cheshire.
Previously trading as Swann's situated on Grosvenor Street  for around 45 years and the current owner ran the business successfully since early 2008 without any prior experience building a valued reputation. The business is being offered for sale as the current owner has developed a wholesale business during this period and wishes to focus on this, which 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.
If desired, the current owner will continue to supply products for the store to ensure a smooth transition of ownership and to suit the convenience of the new owner.
Externally the building is on a parade of shops on the pedestrianised Grosvenor Street and has a forecourt area which displayed fruit, vegetables and popular bird/pet foods and seasonal items, such as Christmas trees.
Internally, the ground floor has a spacious retail area with a traditional grocers feel as you can see from the photographs. There is a counter area to the left of the entrance and storage to the rear. The first floor is a large storage area with kitchenette and wc.
Swann's would suit an owner operator with or without experience, aided by the flexibility of the current owner continuing as the wholesaler if desired. The new owner will continue to benefit from the solid heritage of the business. The current owner has capitalised on changes in the immediate area and expanded into locally produced jams, local free range eggs, home brew, fairtrade products and lines not normally found in chain stores.
Early viewings are advised as an early completion is anticipated.
