Hilton Smythe is delighted to welcome to the market this well-established and busy convenience store in Sunderland, Tyne & Wear. The business has been in our clients’ careful ownership since 2003 and is only now being offered to the market due to our clients’ desire for a well-deserved retirement. The business currently operates 7 days per week and generates a turnover in the region of £1,250,000 per annum, with a gross profit of approximately 20%. Our clients offer a wide variety of goods including general convenience items, frozen goods, chilled goods, household items, newspapers and magazines, greeting cards, alcohol and tobacco products, to name a few. The business has built up an enviable reputation within the area for the high quality of the goods and services offered, which has resulted in a very loyal client base, with a high volume of repeat trade and word of mouth recommendations. To the ground floor, the property offers a spacious sales and display area, which is fitted out to suit the trade, with a separate office and staff room to the rear. The first floor offers four bedroom accommodation, which could be used by new owners or let out to generate further income. We feel there is scope to increase the turnover by embarking on a modest marketing campaign to highlight the goods and services offered. A new owner could also offer a newspaper delivery service within the area. This is an excellent opportunity for a new owner to take this already thriving business to the next level; therefore early viewing must come highly recommended to avoid disappointment.

The business is owner run and managed with 5 x part time staff members and family.

The business is open: Monday – Saturday: 7.00am – 9.00pmSunday: 8.00am – 9.00pm
