Village Post Office And Store In Markham Gwent For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this popular village Post Office and store, which was established in 1928 and which has been in our clients' careful hands since 1989. The business is only now being placed on the market due to our clients' wish to retire. The business benefits from a Post Office salary of £20,000 per annum and a retail turnover of approximately £15,000 per annum, derived from the sale gifts and fancy goods. A new owner could increase the retail turnover by expanding the range of gifts offered and perhaps by sourcing items with a higher profit margin. The property boasts spacious 3-bedroom owners' accommodation and the whole property is maintained to a very high standard throughout. We feel this represents an ideal opportunity to acquire a well-established Post Office business, which is truly in a walk-in-and-trade condition, and in such a delightful location. Early discussions with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
