PRESTON - Off Licence Well Established W/T £5,500, GP 35% Huge Scope Pr

This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a thriving off licence convenience store located in the heart of Preston City Centre.

Booze Express is situated on Corporation Street in Preston, ideally located equidistance from the railway station and the university ensuring a heavy footfall of traffic. The business has been trading for many years and the current owner has operated the business profitably since 2009. Previously trading as 24/7 express convenience store, the alcohol licence has only been introduced since the new owner has operated the business and this has had a dramatic effect on turnover. The alcohol side of the business has not reached full potential and offers huge scope for a new owner to expand and increase trade.

Externally the building is situated among a parade of shops and has striking presence from the roadside. Once inside the building the design and layout of this split level store can be fully appreciated. The convenience goods products are located at the first part of the sales floor with a counter at the entrance. The upper level at the rear of the sale s area is home to the alcohol sales with a freezer positioned centrally in this section for frozen produce. The clever design of the sales area allows the current owner to stock a wide variety of products whilst maintaining a bright and airy feel to the whole shop. There is ample storage to the rear of the building.

The business offers huge scope for a new owner to enjoy a lucrative business which is already trading strongly and capitalise on the potential that the opening hours provide. The current alcohol licence runs from 11am to 11pm yet the store only opens for trade at 12noon. A new owner could simply extend the opening hours to increase the turnover as the footfall in this area is excellent throughout the entire day. Early viewings are recommended.
