Post Offices For Sale in Cheadle

POST OFFICE AND CONVENIENCE STORE in Greater Manchester for Sale.

This is a very busy Post Office with commission sales of over £62,000 per annum. The retail convenience goods side of the business has a weekly turnover of just £3,000 and could be hugely improved upon, or the substantial space could be put to better use. In the interests of providing total transparency, there is another long-established small convenience shop in the neighbouring parade of shops, as well as a new Co-Op convenience store currently in build within a short distance of the Post Office - neither however will have a Post Office counter provision. In our opinion, a different business model, away from convenience goods, would work very well here. A travel bureau perhaps, a retail counter of some description, or a deli-counter would service a demand that is so far untapped in the local area. The Post Office business however remains very buoyant and extremely lucrative. The Post Office counter arrangement can be relocated to the existing, but unused fortress counter at the back of the shop, leaving a substantial retail area. The asking price is very realistic and more than reasonable, reflecting the convenience goods competition that exists nearby. An asking price well below one years’ worth of annual Post Office commission paid is undoubtedly an opportunity rarely offered and not to be dismissed. At the corner of a busy parade of shops, with good on and off-street parking. Ground floor lock-up premises with cash machine and security roller shutters. Large retail area with sales and Post Office counter near the entry, plus a fortress Post Office counter at the rear of the sales floor, currently only used as an office. Rear of the shop areas include staff kitchenette and WC. Large stores area with double delivery doors leading to a walled and security gated yard.
