Multi Faceted Service Station Near Carnforth Cumbria For Sale

Business description

We are delighted to offer for sale this multi-faceted service station, which includes fuel filling station, convenience store and potential restaurant. The site was purpose built by Esso in 1945 and has been in our clients' careful hands since 1990. The Premier branded convenience store generates a very high turnover with an excellent gross profit, while the Esso branded fuel sales are approximately 3.5 million litres per annum. There is a 2-storey property on site, which has spacious 3 bedroom living accommodation and a 100-cover restaurant area. At present the restaurant is not trading but it could easily be reinstated and would suit a wide variety of cuisines. A new owner could operate the restaurant themselves or lease it out. There is a large forecourt parking area with potential for a wide variety of other commercial uses such as caravan sales or similar, should a new owner wish. The convenience store is fitted and equipped to a high standard and we are advised that there is the internal configuration to expand the sales area if desired. We feel this represents a unique opportunity to acquire a thriving business with immense scope for future growth. Only by viewing can the true potential of this business and property be fully understood. Early discussions with us must come highly recommended.
