CoGoGo is delighted to welcome to the market this well-established and busy newsagent and convenience store in Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire.
The business was originally established in the 1980s and has been in our client’s careful ownership since 1996. Only now is the business, reluctantly, being offered to the market, due to our client’s desire for a well-deserved retirement. The business currently operates 7 days per week and generates a turnover in the region of £500,000 per annum, with a gross profit of approximately 18%.
Our client offers a wide variety of goods including newspapers and magazines, convenience items, confectionery, greeting cards, frozen goods, dairy produce, alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, Lottery, scratch cards and tobacco products, to name a few. The business also has Pay point facilities and a cash machine, which generates £360 per week commission. The property boasts 69 sq. metres of floor space, is very well maintained and fitted out to suit the trade.
The business has built up an excellent reputation within the area for the high quality of the goods and services offered, which has resulted in a very loyal client base, with a high volume of repeat trade and word of mouth recommendations.
We feel there is scope to increase the turnover by extending the opening hours, perhaps by opening later in the evening. A new owner could also embark on a modest marketing campaign to highlight the excellent goods and service offered.
This is an excellent opportunity for a new owner, perhaps a husband and wife team or partnership, to take this already thriving and busy business to the next level; therefore, early viewing must come highly recommended to avoid disappointment.
