Business description
With its village location, just outside Rugeley, this business has been an important aspect of the community for nearly 50 years. The detached property offers modern accommodation and a thriving business but also a quality of life gained only in such semi-rural locations as this.

The store operates mainly as a newsagents and tobacconists with only a small supply of convenience goods sold. 12 daily news rounds ensure a large customer base. Car park spaces outside and the Post Office next door ensure a good footfall.

There is a great opportunity for a new owner to expand the opening hours, range of convenience goods, apply for an alcohol licensce and introduce paypoint/payzone facilities to increase turnover. Sales space can also be extended into the rear of the premises whilst maintaining ample living accommodation upstairs. The large rear garden is just a bonus on this type of premises.

Turnover for 2008 was £283,000
