Business History
Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this old established village store and post office, which has been in our clients' hands since 2002 and is only now being placed on the market due to their wish to emigrate. The store boasts an annual turnover in the region of £474,800 with a gross profit of 18% and a Post Office salary of £14,000. There is scope to increase turnover further by offering deliveries to the surrounding villages and by extending the opening hours. There is the internal configuration to expand the sales area and offer, perhaps, deli, sandwiches and home bakery products. There is also potential to convert the first floor into 3 letting bedrooms or alternatively, the ground floor apartment would be ideal as a holiday let. The business further benefits from diesel and petrol forecourt sales with a 6,000-litre diesel tank and a 6,000-litre petrol tank. We feel this is a unique lifestyle change opportunity for anyone looking to acquire a business in such a picturesque location. Early discussions with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
