Impressive South Surrey Wine Merchants And Off Licence For Sale

Business description

Situated in a much favoured and wealthy Surrey/Hampshire border Village, this most impressive and potentially very lucrative specialist Wine Merchants and Off Licence was established earlier this year and opened on the 8th July following a complete new fit out to high standards of presentation as can be seen by the photographs attachedto this advert. Operated over a six day trading week with the benefit of no Sunday opening, this excellent business is already achieving average sales of £5,800 weekly (December 2011 thought to the end of February 2012) and our client forecasts that total sales for the first 12 months trading will be in the near region of £300,000. Operated entirely by one full time member of staff for our client who is primarily involved himself in the day to day running of his other Off Licence (see note at the end of this paragraph) this Store occupies extremely smart and spacious shop premises right in the centre of this thriving Village shopping High Street where the Co-Operative already trades diagonally opposite and where Sainsbury’s are also in the process of opening one of their new Convenience Store operations further down the High Street, all of which will be very good news overall from a trading point of view. It should also be noted that our client has instructed us to offer this business in conjunction with the planned sale of his other long established and extremely profitable Off Licence and Specialist Wine Merchants which is situated on the edge of a major Surrey Town but still only around 10 miles away by car and very easily accessible via the A3 Motorway and recently opened Hindhead Tunnel.
Full details are available separately under our Reference No: G.7244.

Business Operation

Trading hours:

Operated over a strictly 6 day trading week which has to be said is unusual for an Off Licence, opening daily from 11 a.m. to 9.00 p.m. Monday to Friday and from 10 a.m. until 9 p.m. on Saturday. No Sunday opening.

Employees:

Our client presently employs a full time Manager with some part time help as required. New owners could certainly manage the business without staff in order to maximise profitability whilst the business continues to develop.
