Meridian Business Sales are delighted to offer to the market this outstanding village Post Office and general convenience store which has been established for 40 years and has been in the capable hands of our clients for the previous 10 years. Since owning the business our clients have invested heavily in the business increasing stock levels and on maintaining the premises, including double glazing throughout, new flooring, ceiling and roof to the point where it is now in full walk-in condition for any prospective purchaser. The only reason this opportunity is being offered to the market is due to our clients desire to take a well deserved retirement. We are advised of a Post Office salary of £20,000pa and an annual shop turnover of £286,000 with good gross profits which is derived from the sale of general convenience products, national lottery ticket sales, contracted out dry cleaning, alcohol sales and an extremely popular card and stationary side to the business. The business lies at the heart of the community and has a wonderful reputation benefiting from a high percentage of repeat and regular customers but also due to its location good numbers from passing trade sales. This is a rare opportunity to purchase a thriving business with an outstanding reputation which provides a vital service to the local community and would ideally suit a husband and wife partnership with the potential to afford a good standard of living, as such early viewing is highly recommended as this business is not to be missed.
