Ideally situated to exploit all the increased volume of patronage generated by their proximity to a popular local park, the subject premises occupy an outstanding and highly visible trading position in the well populated former mining town of Maltby, which lies with excellent access both to major road and motorway links (A631, A634, A60, A1M and M18 junction 1 etc.) and to the nearby centres of Rotherham (approximately 6 miles) and Sheffield (approximately 10 miles) in South Yorkshire.

We are delighted to present this outstanding opportunity to acquire a thriving commercial proposition of exceptional quality and real further potential, which we are confident you will agree represents genuine value.

This long established store has become an important focal point of the local community in the course of many years’ highly successful trading by conducting an extremely useful and popular retail operation of an extensive selection of daily shopping essentials, and is a member of the ‘Go Local’ buying group.

The store’s products include market-leading general and frozen convenience grocery items, fresh bought-in bakery and dairy products, over-the-counter news, confectionery and tobacco lines, greetings cards, general household goods, associated sundries and an excellent choice of traditional beers, wines and spirits, all displayed to its very best advantage in a bright, spacious and welcoming, mini-supermarket-style customer service area which also holds a valuable National Lottery franchise with 2 E-POS system in place

“The Kabin” also operates as the local sub Post Office providing services including postage, pensions, benefits, electronic utility payments, international money transfers and personal banking etc., and operates from premises of a size which would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with ample scope for continued growth, not least with regard to still further expansion of the retail products currently offered.

The business would also benefit by the possible introduction of local delivery services, particularly for elderly customers in outlying areas, in order to improve upon the already high levels of turnover it has achieved in the course of more than ten successful years’ trading in the hands of the current proprietor, with the aid of an experienced and motivated team of four full-time and two part-time staff who would be an asset to any purchaser, and we would unreservedly recommend a viewing.
