CoGoGo is delighted to welcome to the market this well-established and popular newsagent and convenience store in the affluent town of Oadby, Leicestershire. The business was established in the 1980s and has been in our client`s careful ownership since 2012. Only now is the business being offered to the market due to our client`s other business interests. The business operates 7 days per week and generates a turnover in the region of £476,000 per annum, with a gross profit of approximately 21%. Severn Road Stores is currently Mace branded and generates the turnover from the sale of a wide variety of convenience lines, newspapers, magazines, greeting cards, tobacco products and alcoholic beverages, as well as offering the National Lottery and scratch cards. The business has built up an excellent reputation within the area for the high quality of the goods and service offered, which has resulted in a very loyal client base with a vast amount of repeat trade and word of mouth referrals.
