Business description

Advent Business Sales are delighted to offer to the market this extremely well established freehold post office and convenience store with attached large house, which has been trading successfully for the past 30+ years.

The current vendor has been in ownership for the last 5 years and is reluctantly selling due to health reasons and a desire to retire.

The business is a traditional post office and runs the convenience shop along the usual lines, selling news and magazines, greetings cards, frozen food, general household good, general groceries, dairy products, bread, sweets and snacks, soft drinks, tobacco and an off licence.

Due to bad health, our client has not been able to make as much of the shop as is possible, a younger family could make this into a ‘gold mine’ with special offers and additional goods on display.

We are advised that stock at cost is approximately £5,000 to – £8,000.
