Hilton Smythe are proud to offer to the market an unopposed and well performing convenience store and off licence within a densely populated residential area.

There has been a Convenience store at this site for many years. The current owner has run it as Olive Store for the last 20 years or so and the business has flourished under his ownership accruing an impressive number of regular and repeat customers along with a reputation for customer care and service along with competitive pricing.

Olive Store is a family run business and has been a real labour of love for all members of the family who have been involved in it. The business can truly be said to be at the heart of the local community.

The business is now being sold, albeit reluctantly and with a heavy heart only due to the owners desire to pursue a change of direction, he is keen to see his beloved off licence and convenience store pass to an ambitious and entrepreneurial new owner(s) who can take this already thriving business to the next level.
