ESTABLISHED BEST ONE CONVENIENCE STORE
Fishergate Hill, Preston
A rare opportunity to acquire a long-established convenience store with property included, an established local customer base and significant scope for future growth.
THE OPPORTUNITY
EMF North West are delighted to bring to market this well-established Best One convenience store, occupying a prominent and highly accessible position on Fishergate Hill, Preston.
Successfully operated by the same family for over 30 years, the business has built a strong reputation within the local community and benefits from an established customer base.
The location is a particular strength. Positioned on a principal route into Preston city centre, the store benefits from excellent visibility, passing traffic and pedestrian footfall.
The property is also situated approximately two minutes' walk from Preston railway station and the city centre, placing the business in an excellent position to benefit from commuters, local residents, nearby businesses and continued development within the surrounding area.
A BUSINESS WITH ROOM TO GROW
Current weekly sales are approximately £4,500, following recent staffing challenges.
Importantly, the business has historically achieved weekly sales of approximately £7,000–£8,000, demonstrating the strength of the location and the underlying demand for the store.
For an energetic new owner, this provides an exciting opportunity to rebuild turnover and develop the business further.
A new owner has the opportunity to increase revenue further by expanding opening hours as the store currently closes daily at 9pm.
There is also scope to introduce additional services and revenue streams. The store does not currently offer Lottery or PayPoint, providing an obvious opportunity for a new owner to broaden the offering and increase customer spend.
