Atherton Newsagents And Convenience Store For Sale

Business description

The business is long established and has been under the ownership of our client since 2001 developing what we are advised is a strong local reputation. The business stocks a wide range of goods, many as a result of popular customer request. These now include newspapers, grocery and convenience lines, alcohol, tobacco and confectionery. In addition the business also has a Paypoint terminal, on which gas and electric bills can be paid and mobile phones can be ‘topped up’. This attracts additional custom as well as generating useful commissions. The property was fully refurbished in 2008, seeing over £55,000 of investment; improving the presentation of the premises and further serving to attract passing trade to the business.
