Turner Butler are delighted to be appointed as the sole selling agents for this exciting business opportunity, which has never been brought to the market for sale before.
This family owned business has developed organically and successfully over the last 10 years, aided by the previous experience of the owners that stretches back much further.
The business is located in an excellent high visibility location within a pedestrianised precinct, which provides excellent footfall traffic. The premises are modern and well maintained with a wide frontage, in an area very close to the shops of many of the normal household name stores.
The drive and dynamism of the owners has led them to increase their product offerings over the years, from purely fresh fruit and vegetables to today where a much greater range of offerings are available to their customers, coupled to a shopping layout that flows very well and is well lit, creating a pleasant shopping experience that is replicated regularly by many of the shops loyal customers.
The business operates a computerised payroll and accounts system, based on the very popular SAGE software system. Another great benefit to the business’ daily operations is the use of a bespoke software package which controls the tills, stock and ordering systems.
This superb business opportunity will be of interest to either a family wishing to replicate and develop on the sound platform that has been created here, or perhaps another company in the same business sector looking to expand in to a new high impact geographical area.
