Village Post Office And Store In Devon For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is pleased to offer for sale this village Post Office and convenience store, which was established in 1930 and which has been in our clients' careful hands since 2001. The Post Office is only now being offered to the market due to our clients' other business interests. The business trades 7 days a week and generates a turnover in the region of £325,000 per annum with a gross profit of 20.31% and a Post Office salary of £25,000 per annum. The business offers, general Post Office services, CTN lines, convenience lines, groceries, alcohol, hot food, chilled foods, greeting cards, stationery and the lottery. We feel the turnover could be further increased by extending the range of snacks available and perhaps embarking on a modest marketing campaign. The Post Office is well-supported by the local community and enjoys much repeat trade. The premises boast a spacious retail area and have been finished to a high standard throughout. There is also a 2-bedroom self-contained flat to the first floor, which we feel could be let out to generate additional income. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire a busy Post Office in such a desirable location with a 2-bedroom flat and huge scope for future growth. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
