Petrol Station and Convenience Store in Newton Stewart For Sale in Newton Stewart- Business 4 Sale .co.uk

Business Summary

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this busy filling station and convenience store, which was established in 1968 and which has been in our client's careful hands since 1981. The business is only now being placed on the market due to our client's wish to retire. Creebridge Garage generates a turnover in the region of £2,400,000 per annum with a gross profit of 6.25%, derived from fuel sales, tobacco, snacks and sandwiches and general convenience lines. The garage also offers PayPoint facilities, Calor Gas and a jet wash. The filling station is Jet branded and offers the cheapest fuel in the area. The pumps were replaced in 2007 and the fuel storage tanks were relined 5 years ago. There is scope for a new owner to increase turnover by applying for an alcohol licence, the Lottery and to sell newspapers and magazines. We are advised that planning permission has now lapsed to extend the shop onto the grassed area to the side and that the building was constructed to allow for the addition of living accommodation above. The shop roof is flat and constructed from 150mm fireproof concrete which would allow the new accommodation be built on top of the original structure. Re-application for planning permission should be straight forward. The business is located in a rural area east of the river Cree and qualifies for 100% rural rate relief and 50% grants available for upgrades of the business as the business is located in rural Scotland. We feel this is an ideal opportunity to acquire a well-established filling station and convenience store with immense scope for future development. Early discussions with Preferred Commercial come highly recommended.
