Filling Station And Convenience Store In Cambridgeshire For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this thriving filling station and convenience store, which was established in 1960 and which has been in our client's careful hands since 1992. The business is only now offered to the market due to our client's wish to retire. The filling station trades 7 days a week and generates a turnover in the region of £1,300,000 per annum with a gross profit of 11%. Our client offers a range of products including petrol and diesel, general convenience lines, car accessories and the lottery. We feel the turnover could be increased by extending the range of products available and perhaps introducing hot food. The business has an excellent reputation and enjoys much repeat trade. There are established fuel accounts with local businesses in place. The premises are well-equipped to suit the trade with 11 pumps and a spacious shop and forecourt area. We have been advised that there is a new residential development of approximately 400 properties in the area. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire an already busy filling station with scope for future development. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
