About this business

Trading position

The business sits within a busy shopping parade just off a main road leading into the city centre and benefits from exceptional visibility, high footfall and convenient parking directly outside. The immediate sought after area is highly populated within a diverse residential catchment area ranging from large detached homes to apartments, generating solid year round sales.

Special remarks

This shop is superbly laid out with significant potential to increase trade by extending the openings as currently closes 9.00 pm latest and start a much needed home delivery service that is not currently offered. Our client is reluctantly selling to concentrate on other business interests as he is finding it difficult to maintain the workload across multiple premises.
