Busy Grocery Store/Tea Room in Shevington For Sale

Hilton Smythe is delighted to welcome to the market this busy grocery store and tea room, which is ideally located within Shevington, near Wigan, Lancashire. The business was established by our client in 2011 and is only now being offered to the market, due to our client’s unfortunate health problems. The business currently operates 6 days per week and generates a turnover in the region of £100,000 per annum, with a gross profit of approximately 40%, as per the 2016 accounts. Our client offers a range of goods and services. The shop stocks fresh fruit and vegetables, eggs, preserves, dairy produce, convenience items and snacks, to name a few, all of which are locally sourced wherever possible. The tea room boasts 20 covers using the local produce sold in the shop serving homemade snacks, soups, Paninis, sandwiches, baked potatoes, cakes etc. The business also serves Fredericks ice cream, which has proved very popular. The business has built up an excellent reputation within the area for the high quality and freshness of the goods offered, which has resulted in a very loyal client base, with a high volume of repeat trade and word of mouth recommendations. We feel there is scope to increase the turnover by expanding the tea room. A new owner could also introduce a delivery service or outside catering side of the business. The concern benefits from having a page on the popular networking site Facebook, although we feel a dedicated website would benefit the business by advertising the goods offered. This is an excellent opportunity for a new owner to acquire a thriving business in a prime location; therefore, early discussions with Hilton Smythe must come highly recommended to avoid disappointment.

The business is owner run and managed with 2 x part time staff members.

The business is open: Monday – Thursday: 9.15am – 5.30pmFriday: 9.15 – 5.00pmSaturday: 9.00am 3.30pmSunday: Closed
