Because of Covid, our client has expanded his delievery serviceThis is now the only newsagents in the area offering newspaper deliveries with 10 rounds covering up to 10 miles radius from the shop. The area is home to many elderly residents who depend not only on their daily newspaper being delivered but the many extras our client has added.

The success of the business is due particularly to the involvement within the local community groups, church, school, local families and supporting charity events.We would recommend any new owner investigates the potential of adding a Post office local counter to offer more services and increase footfall. The business is also the only payzone store in the area. Very rarely to profitable businesses of this standard come to the open market and we therefore recommend early enquiry to avoid disappointment.
