This very well established community store currently primarily conducts an extremely useful and popular retail operation of an extensive selection of daily shopping essentials, with the current emphasis on a superb range of authentic imported Polish goods displayed to their best advantage in a bright, welcoming and secure, mini-supermarket-style customer service area.

The store offers products including an excellent choice of general and frozen convenience grocery items, fresh bought-in bakery and dairy products, cooking ingredients, general household goods and toiletries, fresh greengrocery produce, confectionery and associated sundries, and is particularly renowned for its wide range of premium quality, delicatessen-style cooked meats, cheeses and associated sundries, including speciality sausages etc.

“Food Plus Express” also holds a valuable licence for the sale of beers, wines and spirits and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with ample scope for continued growth, not least with regard to the possible provision of local delivery services, particularly for elderly customers in outlying areas, and to operating considerably extended morning and evening retail hours in order to fully exploit year-round local and passing trade demand.

The business would also benefit greatly by adopting a more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing products, particularly with reference to the possible introduction of online ordering and to further development of its social media presence, in order to improve upon the already impressive levels of turnover it is achieving in the hands of the current proprietor, with the aid of a small, experienced and motivated team of two full-time shop staff who would be an asset to any purchaser, and we would strongly recommend the earliest possible viewing to avoid disappointment.
