Retail business on a busy road near the university area

Large Established Retail Business for Sale – Prime High Street Location – Hull – Retirement Sale

A fantastic opportunity to acquire a well-established and well-known retail business located on one of Hull’s busiest and most vibrant high streets. The business benefits from strong daily footfall, a loyal customer base, and consistent passing trade from nearby residential areas, schools, and university students.

This is an ideal opportunity for a first-time buyer, experienced retailer, or family-run business looking for an easy-to-manage operation with excellent growth potential.

The shop sells a wide range of everyday household goods and general retail items, making it a trusted and convenient stop for the local community.

One of the key advantages of this opportunity is the size of the premises, which is significantly larger than the average high street shop. The property was originally two terraced houses that have been combined, creating a spacious shop floor of approximately 1,324 sq ft.

In addition, the property includes a first-floor area of approximately 758 sq ft, offering substantial development potential. Subject to the necessary permissions, the first floor could be converted into residential flats to generate rental income, creating an additional revenue stream.

There is also the possibility of splitting the ground floor into two separate retail units, allowing two businesses to operate from the premises and maximising the earning potential.
