Thriving community store offering varied product range from secure & well fitted 5-star hygiene mini-supermarket premises with high volume of year-round regular & passing trade on busy main road into town centre. Comes with valuable commission-earning franchises & scope for deliveries & extended hours etc in excellent commercial location. Sensibly priced for quick genuine sale with early viewing strongly advised REF 2329

The subject premises occupy an outstanding and highly visible trading position among other independent operators in the densely populated suburb of Ravensthorpe, which lies with excellent access to major road and motorway links (A644, A62, A638, M1 junction 40 and M62 junction 25 etc.) on the outskirts of the historic riverside minster town of Dewsbury, in the Calder Valley area of West Yorkshire.

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

This very well established community store currently primarily conducts an extremely useful and popular retail operation of a wide selection of domestic and imported daily shopping essentials displayed to their best advantage in a bright, welcoming and secure, mini-supermarket-style customer service area.

The store offers products ranging from general and frozen convenience grocery items to fresh bought-in bakery and dairy products, cooking ingredients, general household goods, confectionery and associated sundries, and is particularly renowned for its excellent choice of premium quality, traceable and HMC approved fresh halal butchery meats, poultry and fish prepared in its fully equipped and 5-star hygiene rated dedicated in-store butchery department.

“Salaam Foods” also holds valuable, commission-earning ATM cash machine, electronic Payzone and mobile phone top-up franchises and operates from premises of a size which would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with considerable 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 the possible introduction of local delivery services, particularly for elderly customers in outlying areas.

The business would also benefit greatly by operating significantly extended morning and evening retail hours in order to improve upon the already high levels of turnover it is achieving in the hands of the current proprietor, with the aid only of a small, experienced and motivated team of one full-time and two part-time shop staff who would be an asset to any purchaser, and we would strongly recommend the earliest possible viewing to avoid disappointment.

These substantial and well fitted leasehold commercial premises provide excellent and highly functional internal business accommodation, which briefly comprises an inviting and glazed corner public entrance with steel security roller shutter directly off Huddersfield Road (A644) into the main, bright, welcoming and deceptively spacious, “walk round” retail sales and customer service area, set out in mini-supermarket style with diffused fluorescent strip lighting and industrial non-slip flooring throughout for easy cleaning.

The main customer service area houses a full range of well maintained, fixed and freestanding, purpose-built display racking, shelving and furniture, in addition to various refrigerated and frozen display cabinets and a prominent and fully fitted general point-of-sale counter with confectionery and sundry displays, electronic till point and full complement of electronic Payzone and mobile phone top-up facilities.

The main public area also features a large dedicated in-store butchery department housing a prominent, glass-fronted and refrigerated, delicatessen-style food display and serve-over counter for a wide selection of premium quality halal butchery meats, poultry and fish with electronic weighing facilities, a large walk-in refrigerator storage unit and a full range of well maintained, industry standard catering appliances, all of which we understand are to be included in the sale price and further details of which will be made available upon request to any genuine interested parties.

Further ancillary internal accommodation consists of a preparation/washing-up kitchen area, together with access to all the usual washroom/WC facilities.

The premises also enjoy the benefit of oil-fired heating, in addition to the added security benefits of steel roller shutters to the main entrance and windows and a full alarm system.

Externally:

To the exterior the premises are well signed and afford extensive and inviting, double-fronted display window space on two sides onto a busy suburban through road, with a built-in ATM cash machine and 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.
