This filling station occupies substantial detached lock-up premises, ideally located in the heart of a busy market town in Cumbria. The premises benefit from ample private parking and are surrounded by a variety of residential and commercial properties. The area is well-served by public transport with numerous bus stops within walking distance. The town's amenities are close by, including schools and leisure facilities. This busy market town is a desirable place in which to live and work, due to its rural location surrounded by picturesque countryside. The premises are easily accessed via the A-road network.
Business History
Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this busy filling station, MoT testing centre and shop, which was established in 1970 and which has been in our client's careful hands since 1995. The garage is only now being offered to the market due to our client's wish to retire. The business trades 7 days a week and generates a turnover in the region of £3,400,000 per annum with a healthy gross profit. Along with fuel sales, associated merchandise, vehicle sales and a selection of confectionery, the premises are well equipped to offer a full range of garage services including vehicle servicing, repairs and class 4 MoTs. We feel the turnover could be further increased by introducing a class 7 MoT bay. We are advised that the shop retail area could easily be increased, subject to planning permissions. There is also scope to expand on the vehicle sales side of the business through a modest marketing campaign. We feel the garage would benefit from a website advertising the business and services provided. The business is well-supported by the local community and has a loyal customer base, ensuring much repeat trade. The premises are well-equipped to suit the trade and have been well-maintained. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire an already busy filling station with huge scope for future development. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
