About this business

Our client purchased the shop through Rosens in 2004 and now wishes to sell due to pending retirement. The current turnover can be greatly improved by the introduction of a home delivery service for which there would be a strong demand. A well fitted & equipped unit offered either freehold or a new lease to include both shop and 2 bedroom accommodation. Located in prominent corner position on active parade with easy parking serving well populated community. Good scope available which will be evident upon inspection.

Trading figures

We have been informed that the weekly sales are £4000-£4300 with no delivery service for which there would be a strong demand. Huge potential to increase turnover which will be evident upon viewing.
