The business forms part of a parade of shops on Jackson Street and located in the centre of Gateshead. The town is situated on the south side of the River Tyne, opposite the city of Newcastle upon Tyne, and is a town which is benefitting from huge levels of infrastructure investment.
Plans have recently been passed for the construction of a new arena to the east of the town and the road access is to be improved with the demolition of the Gateshead flyover and parts of the old High Street. The purpose-built arena, exhibition centre and hotel are anticipated to bring over 300,000 extra visitors a year to the town.

This is a long-established business which initially traded as a traditional CTN before the Post Office was incorporated in approximately 2013. The business has been placed on the market as the current owners are looking to downsize their business portfolio.
The shop sells a broad range of newspapers, magazines, and confectionery. In addition, the shop has an off licence which the sale of alcohol from 08.00am till 10.00pm.
