Business History
Meridian Business Sales are delighted to offer to the market this outstanding Post Office and general store which has been established for over 50 years and has been in the capable hands of our client for the past 5 years. The only reason this excellent business is being offered to the market is due to our clients desire to take a well deserved retirement. Since owning the business our clients have spent time and money on the business and accommodation providing any prospective purchaser with a true 'turnkey' opportunity in superb condition. Our clients advise us of a very respectable annual turnover of £54,564 in addition to a Post Office salary of £27,310 which is derived from the sale of general goods, stationary and cards, newspapers and tobacco. There is great scope for a potential increase in turnover with the addition of a National Lottery terminal and the introduction of news rounds which are in great demand in the area. The business lies at the heart of the local community and has an enviable reputation for the warm and friendly service that is provided which leads the business to benefit from high numbers of repeat and regular customers. Due to its outstanding location the business also benefits from high numbers of passing trade. It also benefits from being located in the catchment areas for the popular Ribble Valley schools and within a short drive of the prestigious Stonyhurst College Private School. The business would ideally suit a husband and wife partnership looking for a lifestyle change opportunity and has the potential to offer a good standard of living in a highly sought after location and as such early viewing comes highly recommended.
