Plumpton Post Office and A6 Toys is situated in a delightful rural location between Penrith and Carlisle in Cumbria. The business occupies a monopoly trading position and benefits from much passing trade from being situated on the busy A6. The desirable, affluent village lies just 3 miles from junction 41 of the M6 motorway, while Penrith is approximately 4 miles to the south and Carlisle 12 miles to the north.
Business History
Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this popular village Post Office, convenience store and toy retailer, which was established in 1952 and which has been in our client's careful hands since 2000. The business is only now being placed on the market due to our client's wish to retire. The store stocks a good range of convenience items and offers general Post Office services. Over the past 11 years our client has built up a thriving toy sales business. The business generates a turnover in the region of £200,000 per annum with a gross profit of 24% along with a Post Office salary of £11,500. The premises benefit from spacious 3 bedroom owners' accommodation with a large open-plan kitchen and conservatory. A new owner could increase turnover by perhaps extending the range of convenience items, offering sandwiches and beverages and there is potential to create a seating area to the front in the summer months. There is a web site in place for the toy side of the business, which could be developed further to offer on-line ordering. We feel this represents an ideal opportunity to acquire a well-established and thriving business in such a delightful location. Early viewing must come highly recommended.
