Freehold Post Office & Newsagents In Cumbria For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this desirable and much sought after Post Office, which has been established for over 50 years and has built up an enviable reputation throughout the area, generating much regular repeat business. The business has been in our client's hands for 18 years and is now being placed on the market due to their wish for a change in direction. New owners, by our client's own admission, could greatly increase the turnover and profitability of this excellent business with the introduction of evening opening hours, an increase in stock lines as well as alcohol and full day Sunday openings. Currently the business has an average weekly turnover of £2,800, a newssheet of £1,700 and a gross profit of 22%. The Post Office salary is £28,448 and a weekly lottery of £1,000. The business benefits from 3 bedroom living accommodation, which is self-contained and at present is rented at £500pcm but will be offered with vacant possession if so wished. This is a unique opportunity to purchase such an established and popular local business that provides an excellent income, yet still offers a new owner the scope required to increase its value. Viewing is a must to fully appreciate.
