Convenience Store Cafe And Farmers Shop For Sale

Business description

We are delighted to offer one of the Isle of Man's premier businesses to the market. The substantial property has been extensively upgraded by our client, who purchased the business in 2001 from a local resident. The business is split into four different elements, a fully equipped convenience store, a Post Office, a cafe (which also offers an extensive outside catering menu) and a recently added Farmers Market. The market offers locally grown organic produce, as well as game, meat, poultry and crafts. There are excellent parking facilities, as well as a fully refurbished two-bedroom apartment on the first floor. The apartment would make ideal owners' accommodation or profitable rental accommodation if desired. All four elements of the business are run by a fully trained team of staff. Recently the turnover has increased substantially and achieved a year end result of just under £800,000 in August 2007. Very rarely do business opportunities of this standard come onto the market.
