Business History

Meridian Business Sales are delighted to offer to the market this well appointed Post Office and general store which has been established circa 1950’s and in the careful hands of our clients since 2001. Our clients are reluctantly offering the business to the market due to a desire to take well deserved retirement. Since our client(s) took ownership of the business they have continually developed and improved the business, introducing new lines and income streams which has enhanced the business massively and in particular shows in the year on year increase in turnover and profitability. Our clients inform us that weekly turnover currently runs at £3,941 with a gross profit margin of 18% from the sale of general store goods. In addition to the retail sales, the business has a post office salary of £37,000 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.
