BUSINESS: The business is very well established. It has been in operation for over 50 years with the last 33 years through the vendor’s family. Shop takings are currently £6,000 p.w.; however there is good potential for this business to increase this through opening in the mornings and from introducing newspapers in this predominantly residential area. There is income from the signboard outside (£130/qtr) and from cigarette marketing (£120 p.a.). In addition there is commission income from Western Union, Paypoint and £80-£100pw from the ATM. The business is currently run by a husband and wife team with 1 full time staff employed.

HOURS: Currently only open 10am-10pm Mon-Sat, noon-10pm Sun. Excellent potential to open early morning and increase takings.

ACCOMM: To the rear of this corner retail unit there is a store room (11'3” x 10ft); this then leads through to a very spacious modern living room and an en-suite toilet. If required the flat accommodation can be partitioned as there is a separate side door access. There is also another separate toilet on the ground floor and a small yard at the rear.
