FRUITERERS AND GREENGROCERS in Preston for Sale.

A fantastic opportunity to acquire this long established fruiterers and greengrocers which has been in the same family ownership for over 100 years and is now brought to the market due to pending retirement. The business operates from a prime trading position within the heart of this bustling town centre adjacent to the newly built market hall and with further significant commercial development a short walk away which will further boost footfall to this already busy area. Weekly turnover £9,000. There are a number of arms to the business – the retail shop, wholesale to local businesses and schools, deliveries to local residential customers and online distribution of fruit hampers etc, throughout the UK via eBay and Amazon Marketplace. The online element of the business is currently underutilised, presenting wonderful scope for younger enthusiastic new owners to significantly grow and develop. The business has a Facebook following of over 5,500. The premises briefly comprise ground floor retail shop with good refrigerated displays and three position cash out facility, store area and walk in cold room to rear. First floor large store and preparation area where food hampers are packaged ready for distribution, kitchen area, staff room and WC. Second floor additional storage area and office. There is potential to develop the property by creating a separate access to partition the upper floors from the ground floor retail area (subject to any necessary consents). Internal inspection highly recommended to fully appreciate this valuable concern.
