Convenience Store and Newsagent in Lincoln For Sale in Lincoln- Business 4 Sale .co.uk

Business Summary

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this popular convenience store and newsagent's, which was established back in 1890 and which has been in our clients' careful hands since 2002. The business is only now being offered to the market due to ill health. The business is run at a pace to suit our clients and generates a turnover in the region of £312,000 per annum with a gross profit of 18% derived from the sale of traditional convenience lines along with newspapers and magazines and Lottery commission. There is scope to increase turnover by perhaps offering newspaper delivery rounds. The premises benefit from a self-contained 3-bedroom flat above and a 1-bedroom barn conversion to the rear, both of which are currently let on short term agreements and either of which could be suitable as owners' accommodation. We feel this represents an ideal opportunity to acquire a well-established and ideally located convenience store with scope for further growth. Early viewing must come highly recommended.
