Business Summary

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this busy newsagents and convenience store, which was established in the 1900s and which has been in our clients' careful hands since 2001. The store is only now offered to the market due to our clients' wish to retire. The business trades 6½ days a week and generates a turnover in the region of £180,000 per annum with a gross profit of 18%. Our clients offer CTN lines, magazines, phone top-ups, PayZone and the Health Lottery.
