CoGoGo is delighted to introduce to the market a highly profitable investment property. The business is well established being set up in the 1950's. Our client has run the business for over 30 years, and has thoroughly enjoyed overseeing this store in the community. The owner is now looking to sell the business due to the desire to take a well deserved retirement. The store is popular in the area as it is a great convenience to those that live local. There is also little competition around. We are advised the current turnover for the business is an advised £62,400. The store has been run at a steady pace to meet our client's needs. With a new owner who is hard working and determined the business could be more successful. The turnover can be highly increased by growing the stock further, introducing new ranges, and types of products; there is plenty of room in the store to do this. Other ways are to increase opening hours and to start up a newspaper round in the area. This will enhance customers and turnover. Above the store is a 3 bedroomed accommodation, which is perfect for a family. This would be ideal for a rental opportunity. We believe the property prices in the area are at a high, and the new owner could charge at least £1000 per month, once the flat is renovated. We highly advise early viewing on this fantastic development opportunity. This property has the perfect prospect to generate some extra income.
