Falcon Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this thriving Post Office which has strong greetings cards & stationery sales. It has been under the proud ownership of our clients since 1996 during which time they have run a successful business and enjoyed the benefits of a spacious family home which is currently rented out. It is now reluctantly being placed on the market as the vendors wish to retire. The business has built up an excellent reputation for its welcoming atmosphere and friendly service.
Operating from substantial landmark premises of real charm and character, this very well established, family-run concern has become an important focal point of the local community over the course of many years' successful trading by conducting a useful and popular retail operation of an extensive selection of greetings and stationery as well as a wide range of Post Office services.
Devonshire Drive Post Office is run by our clients with help from part time staff. The business generates a turnover in the region of £22,000 per year with high gross profit margins. The Post Office commission is in the region of £28,800 per year. Further additional income is generated from renting the Beauticians next door for £500per month and by renting the owners flat for £850 per month.
This rarely available opportunity is not to be missed and early negotiations with Falcon Commercial come highly recommended
