Business History
Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this busy Post Office and convenience store, which was established in 1950 and has been in our client's careful hands since 1989. The business is only now offered to the market due to our client's wish to retire. The premises are well-equipped to suit the trade with a spacious shop area with two Post Office counters, multiple display units and large store room. The business benefits from occupying a monopoly trading position in the village. The premises boast spacious self-contained 3-bedroom owner's accommodation with large garden to rear. The business has an excellent reputation and enjoys much repeat trade and word of mouth recommendations. Our client offers Post Office services, CTN and general convenience lines including alcohol and a variety of food and drink. The business trades 7 days a week and generates a turnover in the region of £249,000 with a gross profit of 20% and receives a Post Office salary of £24,000. We feel this could be further increased by offering hot food and sandwiches, along with a newspaper delivery service. We are advised that the National Lottery application has been approved and the system will go live from September 2012. The new owner could, if desired, let out the 3-bedroom owner's accommodation to generate further income. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire an already busy Post Office with 3-bedroom owner's accommodation and huge scope for future development. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
