This long established and well known Newsagents occupies a prominent trading position in the popular and bustling Sutton district of St Helens.

The business is located in a well populated area amongst a number of small businesses including a Post Office, Sandwich Bar and Chemist with ample customer parking ensuring the area is a hive of activity throughout the day. Having been successfully operated by the present owners for the past 40 years, the business has earned an excellent reputation in the locality with an extensive and loyal customer base.

Blacks reference 1026 operates from commanding and extensive double fronted premises offering a spacious sales area which is light and airy.

A Friar is a thriving and highly lucrative business, yet only offers a limited selection of traditional stock lines. The business would therefore ideally suit an ambitious and energetic husband and wife team who can extend the sales area which will considerably increase the retail space. To exploit the true potential of the business, there is a superb opportunity for an enthusiastic operative to introduce convenience foods, an off licence, and associated services which will significantly increase the weekly sales and maximise overall profitability.

The first floor of the building is currently vacant however there are 7 rooms which could provide extensive family living space or alternatively be converted into a number of self contained flats which could be let out to generate an additional income.

This excellent business is only now reluctantly been offered for sale due to retirement and viewing is highly recommended at the earliest opportunity.
