Popular Newsagents In County Durham For Sale

Business description

We are delighted to offer for sale this popular newsagent's business, which was established in the 1930s and which has been in our client's careful hands since 1998. The business is only now being placed on the market due to our client's wish to retire. The newsagent's is run at a pace to suit our client and generates a turnover in the region of £156,000 per annum with a gross profit of 27%, derived from the sale of newspapers and magazines, confectionery, a range of groceries and convenience items and alcohol. A new owner could increase the turnover by perhaps, opening all day on a weekend and expanding the range of convenience and alcohol items stocked. The premises benefit from 2-bedroom owners' accommodation and private parking to the rear. We feel this represents an ideal opportunity to acquire a thriving community newsagent's with owners' accommodation. Early viewing must come highly recommended.
