Convenience Store With A Renowned Reputation

Hilton Smythe are pleased to have been given the opportunity to manage the sale of Spar Convenience Store which is a well-established business with a renowned reputation amongst local residents.

This is a superb opportunity to take on a high turnover local business in an area teeming with customers.

• Newspapers and Magazines
• Tobacco
• Beers, wines and spirits
• Confectionery
• Fruit and vegetables
• Fresh Meat
• Frozen foods
• Instore bakery offering fresh bread and pastries, cakes
• Takeaway coffee
• Ice creams
• Greeting cards and gift bags
• General groceries

• Crisps and snacks.

Additionally, the business offers Collect Plus, a Post Office counter with commissions of approximately £14,000 Per Annum, a Payzone terminal (approx. £300 per week) and a Lotto terminal (£1000 per week). The business has a healthy News bill of roughly £1000 per week.

Spar Convenience Store has an impressive number of regular customers many of whom use the business on a daily basis.

The business enjoys great visibility on the internet.

Spar Convenience Store is located in Shrewsbury in the county of Shropshire.

Shrewsbury is the county town of Shropshire. The town is on the River Severn and the 2011 census recorded a population of roughly 72,000. Located 9 miles east of the Welsh border, Shrewsbury serves as the commercial centre for Shropshire and Mid Wales with a retail output of over £299 million per year.

The A5 and A49 trunk roads come together as the towns by-pass and five railway lines meet at Shrewsbury Railway Station. The town is located 150 miles north-west of London.

The business is situated in an unopposed and prominent corner position at the end of a small shopping parade in the centre of a densely populated residential area comprising a mix of property types with both private and rented accommodation and thus benefits from unusually high levels of footfall.

The business is very nicely presented and maintained with visible clear signage and the distinctive ‘Spar‘ branding. There is free on street parking nearby.
