Village Convenience Store In Twynholm Dumfries And Galloway For Sale

Business description

We are delighted to offer for sale this busy village convenience store and tearoom, which was established in 1902 and which has been in our clients' careful hands since 2006. The store is only now offered to the market due to our clients' wish to retire. The business trades 7 days a week and generates a turnover in the region of £148,000 per annum with a gross profit of 20%. Twynholm Store offers a wide range of products including general convenience lines, CTN lines and gifts, along with a tearoom serving snacks and beverages. We feel the turnover could be further increased by extending the opening hours of the store and perhaps applying for an alcohol licence. The business has an excellent reputation in the local community and a loyal customer base. The Post Office outreach service visits twice weekly, which generates an additional income of £100 per month. There is 2-bedroom owners' accommodation with lounge, kitchen, office and bathroom. There is also ample loft space, which could be converted into 2 further bedrooms, subject to planning permission being granted. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire an already busy convenience store in an ideal trading position and with huge scope for future growth. Early negotiations with us must come highly recommended.
