Business currently closed due to ill health Hilton Smythe welcomes to the market The Village Store. This fabulous convenience store and off licence is in an ideal trading position serving the local community. The store currently stocks bread, eggs, alcohol, confectionary, hot and cold drinks, newspapers, ice creams, groceries and frozen foods. There is the scope to introduce additional food lines to increase profits. The business opened over a year ago and has proved popular with local residents; the store also provides a convenient cash machine and Payzone service, as well as recently installing a lottery terminal and scratch card system. The business benefits from ample free parking to the front. We are advised the business has also recently joined the Myhermes parcel shop network. We would highly recommend viewing this central village store which the current owner renovated just over a year ago to a very high standard presenting an ideal walk in trading investment.
