Newsagent, Stationers and Copy Shop in Shropshire For Sale in Oswestry- Business 4 Sale .co.uk

Business Summary

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this popular newsagent, stationers and copy shop, which was established by our clients in 1994. The business is only now offered to the market due to our clients' wish to retire. The large property boasts substantial sales areas along with 2 upper floors, which are currently used as storage and offer huge potential for conversion into living accommodation, suitable for letting out or for use by the owners. Having been recently refurbished, the sales area has new ceilings and flooring and there are new external signs. The business generates a turnover in the region of £780,000 per annum with a gross profit of 28%, derived mainly from counter newspaper sales, print and copier services and general stationery supplies. Pay Point and Pay Zone facilities are also available. Our clients have developed an enviable reputation in the town and benefit from much repeat trade. The business has a quality web site in place with information on available services, location and contact details. This could be further improved with the addition on an on-line ordering facility and details of available personalised stationery, in particular wedding stationery designs. We feel the turnover could be further improved by offering Lotto facilities and introducing a newspaper delivery service. The new owner could convert the first and second floors to living accommodation, if desired. This is a good opportunity to acquire a well-established business in a busy town centre location. Early viewing and discussions with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
