Business History
Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this popular village convenience store and Post Office, which was established in excess of 100 years ago and which has been in our client's careful hands since 2006. The business is only now being placed on the market due to our clients' wish for a change of career. The Post Office boasts a salary in the region of £30,000 per annum with a retail turnover of £650,000 and a gross profit of 26%. The business is a Londis branded store and offers a range of convenience foods as well as local produce. The business also serves a nearby village, which has no shop or Post Office. A new owner could increase turnover by perhaps, extending the Sunday opening hours, applying for the lottery and expanding the newspaper rounds. We believe there is also scope to develop the hot food side of the business. We feel this represents an ideal opportunity to acquire a thriving village Post Office and convenience store. Early discussions with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
