Leasehold Option Available £10,000 + SAV Hilton Smythe welcomes to the market Mousehill Store. The business was first established in the 1930’s and was taken over by our client in 1997. The store is well-established in this location and boasts an enviable reputation. The business runs as a convenience store offering a range of general groceries, confectionery, stationery, DIY products, wines, beers, spirits and tobacco. Mousehill Store generated a turnover of around £33,800 as of the 2016 accounts. We feel there is huge scope to massively increase this figure. The business has a large retail space which could be utilised further. The purchaser should look to offer more stock, such as adding newspapers, magazines, pet food plus fresh fruit and veg. The National Lottery, parcel collection and a delivery round should also be something the buyer also considers. There are low running costs for this property as it currently qualifies for small business rates relief. Also, included in the sale is a retail unit which is currently let out as a hair dressers and a separate flat which is tenanted. The shop generates an annual rent of £6,000 and the flat is let out for £4,800 per annum. There is also the option to transform the flat and shop into owner’s accommodation. This is a fantastic opportunity that is not to be missed. The business comes fully equipped and has immediate rental income. This would be a perfect purchase for a husband and wife team or partnership. Hilton Smythe highly advise early viewing to take in the full potential of the trade.
The business is run and managed by our client.
