Key market advantages:

  • No direct competition in the immediate vicinity
  • The only liquor licence holder in the area
  • 2,000+ new flats planned nearby, which will significantly increase the local customer base
  • Current turnover averages £3,500/week, with realistic potential to reach £5,000–£6,000/week through extended hours and improved stock planning

The surrounding residential area is expanding, making this a high-growth location for convenience retail.

  • Rent: £13,200/year — low overhead for the location
  • Premises include accommodation above (2 rooms plus kitchen) and a back room for staff
  • Additional income streams: commission from PayPoint services (~£200/week), relay commission (~£100), and £1,200/year from INPOST
  • Flat above generates £800/month rental income, offsetting a significant portion of the rent
  • The business is operated by the founding owner, who is selling due to relocation
  • All fixtures, fittings, and goodwill are included in the sale price
  • Stock sold at valuation (SAV) at completion

Growth opportunities

2. Scale turnover to £5,000–£6,000/week — achievable through improved stock planning and product range expansion

3. Capitalise on 2,000+ new flats — the incoming residential population will dramatically increase footfall and demand

4. Expand alcohol range — leverage the exclusive liquor licence to grow beverage sales

5. Increase commission income — expand PayPoint and parcel collection services

6. Online delivery — onboard delivery platforms to reach customers beyond walk-in footfall
