Summary
This Spar village store, represents an excellent lifestyle and business opportunity, underpinned by strong and consistent financial performance.
In recent years, the store has been extensively modernised, with significant investment focused on the deli and food-to-go offering. This enhanced proposition provides a clear point of difference from competitors, driving customer loyalty whilst delivering improved margins and profitability.
Included within the asking price is the adjoining retail unit, formerly operated as a butcher's shop. The premises benefit from hot food consent (sui generis), creating a range of potential opportunities for an owner-operator, including business expansion, the introduction of a complementary food offering, or the generation of additional rental income through a third-party letting.
