  Business Summary   
  Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this thriving newsagents and convenience store, which was established in 1980 and which has been in our client's careful hands since 1993. The business trades 7 days a week and generates a turnover in the region of £468,000 per annum with a gross profit of 21% and additional lottery of £78,000 per annum. Jay Stores offers an extensive range of general convenience lines, CTN lines, alcohol, the lottery and greeting cards. The business also has 5 morning newspaper delivery runs a week. We feel the turnover could be further increased from the introduction of PayPoint facilities. There is also scope to extend the range of products available and perhaps offer hot and cold snacks. The business is well-supported by the local community and enjoys much repeat trade. The premises boast a spacious retail area with numerous product displays and a large storeroom. We feel this is an ideal opportunity to acquire a profitable convenience store in such a desirable location with huge scope for future growth. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
