Freehold Newsagents In Huddersfield For Sale

Business description

Hilton Smythe Commercial take great pleasure in welcoming to the market College News, which has been under the careful control of our client for the previous 6 years. The business is only offered for sale due to our client wishing to pursue other interests.
The business deals mainly in the sale of tobacco, and everyday convenience goods. Currently, the business has a lucrative payzone facility, and has the potential to host a national lottery franchise, subject to application.
Our client has observed steady growth in the 6 years he has owned the business, and could be improved further if the business was to become licensed.
Further, our client has made a successful planning application to change the business usage into a fast food Takeaway / Incorporate this into the existing business, which could dramatically increase revenue, as there are currently very few fast food establishments within the immediate vicinity.
This opportunity is rare, insofar as it can continue to trade and grow as a newsagent / convenience store, be changed into a hot food establishment or simply be an investment opportunity for a landlord achieving rent on the back of the accommodation upstairs and the newsagents / convenience store or the flexibility to have a takeaway.
