Business History
Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this busy newsagents, which was established in 1960 and which has been in our clients' careful hands since 2007. The shop is only now being offered to the market due to a change in our clients' circumstances. The business trades 7 days a week and generates a turnover in the region of £188,101 per annum with a gross profit of 22.7%. Stevenswood News offers a range of products, including confectionery, newspapers, magazines and tobacco products. We feel the turnover could be further increased by extending the range of products available, such as snacks, groceries, convenience lines and specialist foods. A new owner could, if desired, increase the opening hours later into the evening to catch the commuter trade. There is also scope to apply for the lottery and perhaps for an alcohol licence. The business has a loyal customer base and is renowned for offering quality products at competitive prices. The property has been well-maintained and boasts a spacious retail area, with numerous displays. The premises could be extended into the spacious rear garden to increase the retail space available. There is also 2-bedroom owners' accommodation with lounge, kitchen and bathroom. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire an already popular newsagents with huge scope for future development. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
