Post Office And Convenience Store In Yeovil Somerset For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this thriving Post Office and convenience store, which was established in 1893 and which has been in our clients' careful hands since 1978. The Post Office is only now being 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 £500,000 per annum with a gross profit of 28% and a Post Office salary of £47,400 per annum. As well as general Post Office services, our clients offer general convenience lines, CTN lines, groceries and alcohol. We feel the turnover could be further increased by extending the range of products available, such as hot and cold snacks and ready meals. The business is well-supported by the local community and receives much repeat trade. The premises are well-equipped to suit the trade and boast a spacious retail area and a large storeroom. There is also 3-bedrooom owners' accommodation with lounge, kitchen and bathroom. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire an already busy Post Office with huge scope for future growth. Early viewing is a must.
