Energy Rating D
A long-established leasehold convenience store located in a village amongst a parade of businesses. A rare opportunity to acquire a longstanding off licence and convenience store in an affluent area with no immediate competition. No promotions are needed as there is no competition.
This site has space for storage in the back of the property and secure parking to the front and side. The site is partly staffed therefore it has huge potential to increase sales with onsite management and extending hours.
This would be ideal as a family run store, or it would suit a hands on multi store operator.
LOCATION
This property is on a busy main road in Widnes. The site benefits from being surrounded by a huge residential area and the shop could go from strength to strength. The other businesses complement each other.
INTERNAL DETAILS
The store is equipped with all required chillers, freezers, shelving and gondolas. The business sells a full range of products as would be expected for a convenience store, including alcohol, tobacco, confectionery, and general items of convenience. The vendor has other business interests so has paid no attention to running this business to its best potential therefore this business is lacking attention to detail. This business has no PayPoint, PayZone cash machine, coffee machine and does not take parcels, all stuff that is required in a modern convenience store. The vendor does NOT even sell vapes, so that speaks volumes.
External Details
The business benefits from having free parking to the front and side of the store for customer use.
FIXTURES & FITTINGS
We are advised that all trade fixtures and fittings are owned outright and are included as part of the sale.
THE OPPORTUNITY
This local convenience store is relied upon by the local community. This business is fitted to a good standard and is being offered on a leasehold basis. The current owner has decided to divert his attention to his other businesses and wishes to spend his time without being called away at short notice. There is huge potential for increasing sales by good management and or a new hands-on operator. The site could add lots of new items to the business, this opportunity has been missed by the current operator as he wants to spend his time on other avenues. This is an opportunity NOT to be missed.
