Business Description

Veritas Business Sales are delighted to offer for sale this established Newsagents which is located on the harbour front in St Ives, Cornwall. The business has been established for over 40 years and has been in the careful hands of my client for the last 10 years and is reluctantly being offered for sale so that they can enjoy a well deserved retirement. Since ownership they have continually invested in new equipment along with fixtures & fittings which are all bought and paid for and are included within the sale price which is a huge plus for any new purchaser as additional funds will not need to be spent for some time. The business is owner operated, requiring no staff and has an annual turnover of £277,267 net of VAT with a gross profit of £79,720 (28.75%). St Eia Cabin St Ives retails a range of products to include newspapers, magazines, confectionery, ice creams, cold drinks, greeting cards, post cards, gifts, tobacco, e cigarettes & vape products and stationery. Other services include The National Lottery, Pay Point and a cash machine. We believe that there is further potential to increase trade by offering additional services and by extending upon the paper round service to the many hotels and new housing developments within the town. The business already enjoys a strong reputation within the local community and beyond and as such has a high level of regular and repeat trade along with many visiting tourists. This is a superb opportunity to purchase an established business which is a great base to build upon and as such early viewing is highly recommended as this business is not to be missed.
