Coastal Village Post Office In Cornwall For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this popular Post Office, which was established in 1980 and has been in our client's careful hands since 2004. The business is only now offered to the market due to our clients wish to retire. The Post Office benefits from being situated on the main road leading to the beach along with the village car park being directly adjacent to the premises. The business has an excellent reputation in the village and enjoys much repeat trade. The premises are well-equipped to suit the trade with a large sales area with central display unit, Post Office counter and pet food sales point. The business trades 6 days a week and generates a turnover in the region of £9,000 with a gross profit of 60% and receives a Post Office salary of £14,500. We feel the turnover could be increased by extending the opening hours and offering a wider range of products. The new owner could, if desired establish a newssheet to the village. This is an ideal opportunity for a lifestyle change with an already popular Post Office. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
