The subject premises occupy an outstanding and highly visible trading position among numerous other complementary independent operators on a busy parade serving the prosperous and densely populated commuter suburb of Hazel Grove, which lies with excellent access to major road and motorway links (A6, A523 and M60 junction 1 etc.) and to the nearby town of Stockport, in the Cheshire quarter of Greater Manchester.

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

This very well established community store currently primarily conducts an extremely popular retail operation of an extensive selection of traditional news, confectionery and tobacco lines, in addition to supporting a good number of local, morning-only news delivery rounds.

“Grove Newsagents & Stationers” also stocks an excellent choice of daily shopping essentials including general convenience grocery items, toiletries, greetings cards, stationery, associated sundries and soft drinks, all displayed to its best advantage in a bright, welcoming and secure customer service area.

The store also holds valuable, commission-earning National Lottery and electronic PayPoint franchises and 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, to perhaps include alcohol off sales, and to further development of its local delivery services, particularly for elderly customers in outlying areas.

The business would also benefit greatly by operating considerably extended retail hours, particularly at weekends, in order to improve upon the already high levels of turnover it is achieving in the hands of the current sole proprietor, with the aid only of a small pool of news delivery assistants, and we would strongly recommend the earliest possible viewing to avoid disappointment.

These well fitted and maintained leasehold terraced parade premises provide excellent and highly functional internal business accommodation, which briefly comprises an inviting and glazed, double-fronted public entrance with disabled access directly off London Road (A6) into the main, bright, welcoming and deceptively spacious, open-plan retail sales and customer service area with diffused fluorescent strip lighting and tiled flooring throughout for easy cleaning.

The main customer service area houses a full range of well maintained, fixed and freestanding, purpose-built display furniture and shelving, in addition to extensive periodical and greetings cards racking, various glass-fronted and refrigerated soft drinks display units and a prominent, fully fitted point-of-sale counter area with confectionery and sundry displays, tobacco gantry, electronic till point, National Lottery terminal and full complement of electronic PayPoint facilities.

Further ancillary internal business accommodation consists of a good-sized main general dry goods store and a further smaller general storage area, together with all the usual washroom/WC facilities.

The premises also enjoy the benefit of electric heating and double glazing, in addition to the added safety and security benefits of CCTV monitoring and a full alarm system.

Externally:

To the exterior the premises are well signed and presented and afford ample and inviting, double-fronted display window space beneath a liveried canopy onto a high footfall suburban commercial thoroughfare, with unrestricted customer parking available locally.

The business is well fitted throughout and a valuable inventory of equipment is to be included in the sale price
