Business History
We are delighted to offer to market this superb Post Office and convenience store which has been established since 1897 and has been in the careful hands of our client since 2001. Our clients are reluctantly offering the business to the market due to unfortunate ill health. Since our client(s) took ownership of the business they have undertaken a full programme of refurbishment meaning that the business is in full walk in condition. Our clients inform us that annual turnover currently runs at £260,000 with a gross profit margin of 22% which is derived from sale of convenience style goods. In addition to the retail sales, the business has a post office salary of £13,000 per annum. The business enjoys a strong reputation within the local community and as such has a high level of regular and repeat trade. This is a superb opportunity to purchase an established business, which is a great base to build upon and as such early viewing is highly recommended as businesses of this calibre rarely stay on the market for long.
