Business description
Preferred Commercial is pleased to offer for sales this popular convenience store and bakery, which has been in our clients' careful hands since 1999 and is only now being placed on the market due to our clients' wish to retire. The business generates a turnover in the region of £546,000 per annum with a gross profit of 20% derived from the bakery, off licence, newsagents, Lottery and confectionery sales. The owners' currently trade 7-days per week and currently at a pace to suit. The business boasts 4-bedroom accommodation with large lounge, diner, kitchen and family bathroom, which are highly maintained throughout. We are advised by our client that there is an option to purchase the adjoining cottage, which is available by separate negotiation. Our client's have gained an excellent reputation and a loyal customer base, which ensures much repeat trade. We feel that turnover could be increased by longer opening hours and by extending the bakery product lines and by offering newspaper deliveries to the local area. The new owner could also introduce, if desired, deli produce and fine wines. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire a profitable business, which is well-equipped and in 'walk-in-and-trade' condition, with huge scope to develop further. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
