Lancashire, PR2 4AB

Location:

The business is located in a parade on Watling Street Road in the Fulwood area in Preston also close by are Brookfield Park, Lancashire Infantry Museum & Deepdale Football Stadium home to Preston North End. The business is located close to local school & highly densely populated residential area.

Business:

He business was established over 40 years ago and only now is being offered to the market due to the owner retiring. The newsagents/convenience store/Off License is open 7 days a week and generates an excellent turnover and gross profit. The business has a very loyal customer base and benefits from a vast amount of repeat trade. We feel the turnover could be increased by extending the opening hours as well as hands on hardworking members of the team. This is an excellent opportunity for a new owner to take this thriving and profitable business to the next level, therefore early viewing is highly recommended to avoid disappointment.

Description:

The turnover is generated from the sale of newspapers and magazines as well as general grocery items, tobacco products, alcohol, fresh fruit and vegetables and confectionary. The business also benefits from Payzone and Lottery terminals and the sale of lotto scratch cards.
