Business History

Meridian Business Sales are delighted to offer to the market this well appointed detached freehold garage which has been established since circa 1930 and has been in the careful hands of our client for the past 13 years. The only reason this excellent opportunity is being offered to the market is due to our client needing to care for a close family member. Since our client took ownership of the business he has continually invested in high quality equipment, fixtures and fittings which are all included within the sale price which is a huge plus for a new owner as additional funds will not need to be spent for some time. The business generates its income by class 4 MOTs (average 30 per week), service and repair work, tyre fitting, fuel sales (3,000 litres p/w, free of tie), and retail sales. They have an excellent level of repeat business and also benefit from passing trade. Our client informs us that they have an annual turnover of £385,000. This business is owner operated and has 1 full time and 1 part time members of staff. We believe that there is further scope to increase turnover as it is run to suit and the vendor never advertises for business. Early viewing is highly recommended as this cannot be missed.

Location:

This superb garage is located on a main through road and in the very densely populated commercial and residential area of Middlewich. Middlewich is a market town and has a population of 13,000 people. It is 19.2 miles (30.9 km) east of the city of Chester, 2.9 miles (4.7 km) east of Winsford, 5.3 miles (8.5 km) southeast of Northwich and 4.7 miles (7.6 km) northwest of Sandbach. Three canals also pass through the town, the Shropshire Union, Trent and Mersey, and the Wardle canal, as well as three major roads, the A533, A54 and A530; Middlewich also has good motorway links to the nearby cities of Manchester and Liverpool. The town's population has doubled since 1970 despite a reduction in the number of manufacturing jobs in salt and textile manufacturing, suggests that many of the new residents live in Middlewich for reasons other than local employment. Since 1990 there have been initiatives to increase the volume of tourism into the town, through events such as the annual folk and boat festival, the Roman and Norman festivals, and regular farmers' markets.
