Busy Convenience Store In Blyth Northumberland For Sale

Business description

We are delighted to offer for sale this busy convenience store, which was established by our client in 2004 and which is only now offered to the market due to our client's wish to retire. The business trades 7 days a week and generates a turnover in the region of £130,000 per annum with a gross profit of 26%. The store offers a wide range of products including general CTN lines, greeting cards, DVD rentals, frozen food, alcohol, convenience lines and household products. We feel the turnover could be further increased by extending the range of products available and perhaps from the introduction of the Lottery and Paypoint facilities. There is also the potential to open earlier in a morning to catch the commuter trade. The business has a loyal customer base and enjoys much repeat trade and word of mouth recommendations. The premises boast a spacious retail area with numerous products displays and a large storeroom. We have been advised that there is a 3-bedroom self-contained flat to the first floor, which is available by separate negotiation. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire an already busy convenience store in such a desirable location with huge scope for future growth. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
