CoGoGo is proud to welcome to the market Eagletons Post Office and Convenience Store. The business has been established since 1984 and our clients have owned it since. The store is sizable and very well stocked including confectionery, dairy produce, groceries, alcohol and soft drinks and other every day essentials, the business currently has a very high turnover of £520,000 per annum. The two counter post office is to the rear and offers a host of postal services and commands a salary of £40,000 per annum. The shop could possibly benefit from earlier opening times and longer hours as it is licenced from 7am till midnight. In addition the business could start delivering newspapers to the many local residents that live in the area to generate additional income. After much discussion our clients have decided to sell the business due to their bad health and other interests. We believe this would be an ideal purchase for a family or partnership with a hands on approach to reduce the high staffing costs. We advise that an early viewing for interested parties on this business would be very beneficial.
