BUSINESS
Adams and Co. are delighted to offer to the market this well-established Post Office and Store. The business has been in our client's careful ownership for 9yrs and in that time they have built up an enviable reputation with a loyal customer base, and provides local, fresh produce with a warm, friendly atmosphere. Only now is the business offered to the market due to our client's wish to retire. The Post office offers a good range of services with three postmen using the well organised sorting office. The general convenience store offers an excellent range of items including dairy products, meats, fruit and vegetables, frozen goods, alcohol, cereals, confectionery, household items, stationery and newspapers / magazines. The business also offers a local prescription service, a dry cleaning collection service, and operates 2 paper rounds with the postman delivering some of the newspapers to residents in the surrounding hamlets. This business offers an ideal family opportunity with much further potential.
