Filling Station And Convenience Store In Hereford Herefordshire For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this thriving filling station, convenience store, car wash and MoT testing centre, which was established by our client in 1988 and which is only being offered to the market due to our client's wish to retire. The business trades 7 days a week and generates a turnover in the region of £1,665,000 per annum. Our client offers fuel and convenience lines, along with vehicle washing, repairs, servicing and MoT testing. There is approximately 1.4 million litres of fuel pumped through the station annually plus another 2 million litres though UK and Keyfuels. We feel the turnover could be further increased by extending the opening hours and by embarking on a modest marketing campaign. There is also scope to establish a website advertising the garage and services provided. The premises are well-equipped to suit the trade and boast a spacious workshop with a 4 bay MoT station. We have been advised that the workshop side of the business is run by our client's son, and he would be willing to stay on at the garage. The business has a loyal customer base, enjoying much repeat trade from the surrounding area. The shop sells an extensive range of convenience lines, groceries, chilled and frozen food, confectionery, drinks, tobacco and newspapers. There is also a good selection of sandwiches and filled rolls freshly made on the premises daily. The piece of land next to the workshop, may be suitable for development or vehicle sales, subject to permission being granted. The surrounding area is currently undergoing development and there are many new industrial units, due to be built. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire an already busy garage with huge scope for future growth. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
