CoGoGo welcomes to the market B Pearson Off Licence and Convenience Store. This extremely busy concern comes to the market as our clients look towards retirement after serving the local community for some 30 years.
The business trades from two interconnecting shops. Shop one retails sandwiches, confectionary, frozen food items, fresh breads, pastries and hot pies. Shop two has a wide variety of stock including hardware, fancy goods, greeting cards, pet foods and medicines.
Additionally, B Pearson offers a personal delivery service of groceries to the elderly in the immediate area and included in the sale price are two vans. The business also offers a dry cleaning service, this is truly a one stop shop for the community.
The business also benefits from fantastic owner’s accommodation with 3 bedrooms, large rear garden and garage ideal for family living space.
We feel the business has great potential for further growth, with the introduction of new stock lines or perhaps by extending the off licence arm of the business and introduce counter newspaper sales. The delivery service could be extended to further afield or to other customers within the area.
Furthermore, the business has been run at a pace to suit our client over recent years with the business being managed by paid members of staff, therefore the wages bill has been around £30,000 per annum, which can easily be reduced if the business were to be owner run and managed to reduce this overhead.
Naturally, we would highly recommend viewing this clearly sustainable business with scope for development and fantastic living accommodation to fully appreciate.
