Business History
Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this thriving village convenience store, Post Office and tearoom, which was established in 1976 and which has been in our client's careful hands since 2001. The store is only now offered to the market due to our client's other business interests. The business trades 7 days a week and generates a turnover in the region of £237,500 with a gross profit of 28% and a Post Office salary of £12,500 per annum. Auldgirth Stores and Tearoom offers an extensive range of products including, general CTN lines, greeting cards, beverages and confectionery, along with Post Office and tearoom facilities. We feel the turnover could be further increased by extending the range of products available. The business has a loyal customer base and is well-supported by the local community. The premises boast self-contained 3-bedroom cottage with lounge, kitchen and bathroom. There are also 2 outbuildings, which we feel could be converted for a number of uses, such as letting chalets or perhaps workshops. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire an already thriving convenience store with a 3-bedroom cottage and huge scope for future development. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
