Newsagent And Store In Northamptonshire Village For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is pleased to offer for sale this well-equipped newsagents and shop, which was established in 1955 and has been operated by our clients since 2000. The business is only now presented to the market due to our clients' wish to retire. Our clients provide a number of daily newspaper delivery rounds to the local community and supply a range of newspapers and magazines in the shop, which benefits from residents in the surrounding rural areas. The business is currently run at a restricted pace and trades just three hours per day, which generates a turnover in the region of £79,000 with a gross profit of 30%. The property is very well-equipped and the retail sales area has been recently re-fitted with new racking and shelving. Although not currently trading as a convenience store, there is huge potential within the shop, as the fixtures and fittings are already installed. The business also traded as a Post Office at one time and the Post Office counter is still in situ. The new owner could use the large shop unit for a variety of uses including convenience store and off-licence and there is potential to apply for change of use, such as hot food take away. The first floor flat is well-presented and has a separate private access to the rear, with an enclosed garden, currently laid to lawn. There is scope to rent out the flat to provide additional income. We feel this is an ideal opportunity to acquire good-sized retail premises in a picturesque village location, which offers huge potential and also owners' accommodation. Early contact with Preferred Commercial is highly recommended.
