Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this old-established newsagents business, which has been operated by our clients since 1995 and is only now placed on the market due to our client's wish to relocate. The premises are well equipped to suit the trade and are stocked with a range of general CTN and convenience lines along with a wide variety of gift ware. Money transfer services are also available. The property boasts substantial 7-bedroom owners' accommodation, a large outbuilding and garden. Our client has developed a loyal customer base, which ensures much repeat business from the local community. The business trades seven days per week and generates an income in the region of £165,636 per annum with a gross profit of 26.6%. We feel there is good potential to increase turnover by extending the opening hours, introducing a lottery machine, installing Pay Point facilities and perhaps offering hot and cold snacks. The new owner could utilise the large property as guest house accommodation, subject to necessary permission. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire a popular newsagents business in a busy location, which has further potential for expansion. Early viewing and negotiations with Preferred Commercial are highly recommended.
