Newsagent and Off Licence In West Lothian For Sale in Bathgate- Business 4 Sale .co.uk

Business Summary

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this well-established newsagents, gift shop and off-licence, which has been operated by our client since 2003 and which is only now offered for sale due to our client's desire to relocate. The substantial property boasts two retail units, one of which is currently unused, along with contemporary 4-bedroom owners' accommodation. Our client has established a loyal customer base, which ensures much repeat trade. The business currently trades seven days per week and offers a range of general CTN lines along with alcohol. This generates a turnover in the region of £232,701 per annum with a gross profit of 25%. We feel there is a huge opportunity to increase the turnover by utilising the empty retail premises next door to extend the current sales area and expand the range of lines available by, perhaps, adding groceries or take away food. The empty unit is accessible through the current shop and also has its own entrance, which would make it suitable for renting out and bringing in further income. The new owner could, if desired, extend the opening hours into the evening. This is an ideal lifestyle change opportunity, offering the new owner a substantial property with an already profitable business which has good potential for expansion. Early viewing and negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
