Business History
Meridian Business Sales are delighted to offer for sale this well established, well known and highly regarded business that has been a petrol service station for over 70 years. It has been in our clients careful ownership for 15 years and is only now being offered to the market due to our clients' wish to retire. The business currently has a turnover of £1,530,394 which is derived mainly from self-service fuel sales but the business also benefits from having a spacious and well organised retail area where a large array of newspapers, magazines, confectionery, dry goods and tobacco are on sale. The business sells all varieties of fuel including Super Unleaded and Bio-diesel. Our client has designed a fully computerised stock, invoice and turnover program which is included in the sale price and would be happy to assist for an initial transition period. The business is run with extremely profitable margins on fuel and from a recent survey by Forecourt Trader Fuel Magazine this particular business is one of the busiest and most popular forecourts in the country. This is a fantastic opportunity for a new and enthusiastic operator to acquire a thriving business offering a complete lifestyle change and is also a wonderful investment opportunity. Early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate.
