The subject premises occupy an outstanding and highly visible trading position among numerous other complementary independent operators in a densely populated residential suburb situated with excellent access to major bus, rail, road and motorway links on the outskirts of the vibrant university city of Sheffield.

We are delighted to present this marvellous 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 an extensive selection of premium quality daily shopping essentials, and is particularly renowned for its excellent choice of authentic imported south Indian and Sri Lankan goods.

The store’s products include a wide range of general and frozen convenience grocery items, fresh bought-in bakery and dairy products, fresh greengrocery produce, rices and cooking ingredients, confectionery and associated sundries, all displayed to its very best advantage in a bright, spacious and welcoming, mini-supermarket-style customer service area, with a highly efficient online ordering and sales system also in operation.

“Durga Stores” also provides a popular local delivery service 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, further development of its delivery services, particularly for elderly customers in outlying areas, and to operating significantly 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 and services, both through its own dedicated e-commerce website and to further development of its social media presence, in order to improve upon the already high levels of turnover it has achieved since being established in its present form some seven successful years ago by 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.

Fitted to high industry specifications throughout, these substantial and well maintained leasehold terraced parade premises provide excellent and 4-star hygiene rated internal business accommodation, which briefly comprises a broad, inviting and recessed, part-glazed and double-fronted public entrance directly off Abbeydale Road 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 feature ceramic-tiled flooring throughout for easy cleaning.

The main public area houses a full range of high quality, fixed and freestanding, purpose-built display racking, shelving and furniture for a wide selection of premium quality domestic and imported convenience grocery items, in addition to various refrigerated and frozen display cabinets, a dedicated fresh greengrocery section and a small, fully fitted point-of-sale counter area with confectionery and sundry displays and electronic till point.

Further ancillary internal business accommodation consists of a small shop kitchen area and all the usual washroom/WC facilities, together with a good-sized general dry goods store with separate delivery door access to the rear.

The premises also enjoy the benefit of electric heating, in addition to the added security benefits of steel roller shutters to the shop front and a full alarm system.

Externally:

To the front the premises are prominently signed and afford extensive and inviting, double-fronted display window space onto a high footfall suburban commercial thoroughfare, with unrestricted customer parking available locally.

The premises also enjoy the use of a good-sized communal service yard area to the rear with separate access for deliveries.
