Location:
The Post Office is located within a small parade of shops in the heart of the densely populated residential area, located approximately 1 mile to the south of Low Fell. The parade has the benefit of free on street pull in parking and other tenants include a convenience store, a hair salon and a Chinese Takeaway.
Business:
This business has been operated under the same family ownership for the last 7 years but has been placed on the market as the current family members now wish to retire.
The business trades as a Post Office and traditional CTN with some groceries plus a very wide range of greetings cards. All elements of the business complement each other but the cards trade generates excellent margins and draws new business into the shop.
The spacious retail premises are well fitted and equipped for the trade and are in excellent order having been refurbished in 2016. There is scope to incorporate other lines which could drive the turnover and profits upwards and at the moment the shop does not sell alcohol. This is an ideal opportunity for a family to takeover and viewing is recommended to appreciate the possibilities.
