Post Office Off Licence In Cheshire For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is pleased to offer to the market this well established post office and off licence business, which has been in our client's hands since 1993 and is only now being offered for sale to enable him to concentrate on his other business interests. The business boasts a weekly turnover in the region of £26,000 with a gross profit of 13% and an annual Post Office salary of £125,000. The business is the main post office for Congleton and has a free car park with 16 spaces. The business is run under management and a new owner could take a more hands-on approach. We are advised that Bargain Booze has plans to upgrade the store to a Select Store. Our client advises us that he is willing to consider selling the Post Office and Bargain Booze separately. We feel this offers an ideal opportunity to acquire a well-established town centre post office and off licence with vast scope for future growth. Early discussions with Preferred Commercial come highly recommended.
