Busy Sub Post Office/General Store

Hilton Smythe is delighted to welcome to the market this well-established Sub Post Office and general store in Leeds, West Yorkshire.

The business was established in 1965 and has been in our client`s careful ownership since 2003.

Only now is the business being offered to the market due to our client`s desire for a well-deserved retirement. The business is open 6½ days per week and generated a turnover in the region of £130,000 as of the 2019 accounts, with a Post Office salary of £44,000.

The turnover is generated from general post office activities, as well as the sale of general convenience items, alcohol, tobacco products, scratch cards and confectionery.

The business also has a Lottery terminal installed, as well as a ATM machine, which both generate further income. We feel the turnover could be increased by extending the lines of goods offered. The business could also have a small marketing campaign to highlight the goods and services offered.

The premises boast a spacious sales area, which is well-equipped to suit the trade and has been fitted to a high standard throughout and is also fitted with an ATM machine.

The property also boasts a two bedroom self-contained flat to the first floor, with its own entrance, which could be used as owners` accommodation or let out to generate further income.

We feel this is an excellent opportunity for a new owner to take this thriving a profitable business to the next level; therefore early viewing must come highly recommended.

The business is owner run and managed with 4 x staff members.

The business is open:

Monday – Saturday: 9.00am – 8.00pm
Sunday: 4.00pm – 8.00pm
