Escrick General Stores are ideally located within the rural village of Escrick in North Yorkshire. The business is situated within a densely populated residential area, from which it draws much trade. The premises are set back from the main road and benefit from ample parking and boast stunning views of the surrounding countryside. There are a variety of shops, businesses and amenities in the vicinity and the A19, lies just a few yards away, which leads to York city centre and Selby. The business is located in an affluent and sought after area and is also close to the A64, which leads directly to the thriving city of Leeds.
Business History
Preferred Commercial is pleased to offer for sale this general convenience store and post office, which has been in our clients' careful hands since 1989 and which is only now being placed on the market due to our clients' wish to retire. The business trades 7-days per week at a pace to suit our clients' and generates a turnover in the region of £205,000 per annum with a gross profit of 26%, as well as a Post Office salary of £18,000 per annum. Our client's currently offer general convenience lines including newspapers and magazines, alcohol, chilled and frozen products, fruit and vegetables as well as serving freshly made sandwiches and cakes. The store boasts double fronted premises and is well-equipped to suit the trade and are maintained to a high standard throughout. The business has a large sales area with various displays and chillers and has ample storage. Our clients have developed an excellent reputation and a loyal customer base, which ensure much repeat trade. The business also offers large 1-bedroom owners' accommodation. We feel that turnover could be increased by extending the opening hours. There is also scope to extend the rear of the store should the new owner desire. We also feel that the premises would benefit from introducing an ATM machine. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire a busy village convenience store and Post Office, which are in a thriving area and in a walk-in-and-trade condition, with scope to develop further. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
