This is a rare opportunity to acquire a long-established freehold convenience store, complete with a Post Office and National Lottery terminal, in a captive Staffordshire Moorlands village with no direct competition. Trading for around 19 years under the current ownership, the business has built a loyal local customer base and a strong, consistent trading record.
The shop generates gross weekly retail sales of approximately £14,365 (inclusive of VAT), based on confirmed till data for the year to March 2026, equating to annual net sales of approximately £687,000 ex-VAT. Post Office BACS remuneration of approximately £24,900 per year is paid directly to the proprietor and sits entirely outside the shop till figures, with the National Lottery terminal providing a further guaranteed minimum of approximately £800 per month before additional commissions.
The shop offers a well-stocked retail offer across grocery, chilled, frozen and fresh produce lines, supported by a Post Office community contract and National Lottery terminal that provide guaranteed income streams separate from the shop till. The freehold premises extend to a ground floor retail area of approximately 1,675 sq ft, with substantial residential accommodation across three further floors above, including multiple bedrooms, two bathrooms, a home office and gym, together with useful private parking and a roof terrace.
This is a genuine live-work opportunity suited to an owner-operator looking for an established, captive-market business with scope to grow through extended opening hours, online ordering, expanded Post Office hours, and further development of the existing retail offering. The vendor is considering the timing of a sale in light of a forthcoming staffing change.
