Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this popular village store and tea rooms business, which was established in 1970 and which has been in our client's hands since 2002. The business is only now being placed on the market due to our client's wish to retire. The store is run at a pace to suit our client and stocks a variety of convenience lines, including homemade produce, while the tea rooms offer meals, snacks and refreshments. The business generates a turnover in the region of £172,500 per annum with a gross profit of 23%. A new owner could increase turnover by perhaps, embarking on a modest advertising campaign, extending the opening hours and perhaps offering a breakfast menu. The store is very much at the heart of the village and is the only place to offer W-Fi in the area. The property has been well maintained throughout and boasts 3-bedroom owners' accommodation along with the retail area and the 29 cover tea rooms. We feel this represents an ideal lifestyle change opportunity to acquire a well-established and popular business in one of the most desirable locations. Early discussions with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
