The subject property occupies a prominent trading position with little in the way of direct local competition in the prosperous seaside village of Heysham, which lies at the junction of the A683 to the nearby city of Lancaster and the national motorway network (M6 junction 34) and the A5105 to the neighbouring popular resort of Morecambe, on the delightful and ever-popular north Lancashire coast.

My Own Business sales are delighted to bring to market this fantastic opportunity to acquire the valuable freehold rights to a thriving income producing home of uncommon quality and real further potential, which we are confident you will agree represents exceptional value.

This very long established store has become an important focal point of the local, close-knit community in the course of many years’ successful trading by providing an extremely useful and popular range of traditional Post Office services for local residents including postage, pensions, benefits, currency exchange, electronic utility payments and personal banking etc.

The Post Office services naturally generate considerable extra trade for a highly complementary retail operation of an excellent choice of market-leading greetings cards, gift-wrapping paper, stationery items and associated sundries, all displayed to its best advantage in a bright, welcoming and secure customer service area.

“Heysham Central Post Office” also offers, commission-earning drop or and collect deliveries for leading couriers 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 and services currently offered.

The business would also benefit by operating significantly extended retail hours in order to improve upon the already high levels of turnover it has achieved in the course of some forty successful years’ trading in the hands of the three current sole proprietors who would happliy offer a period of time for hand over.
we would strongly recommend the earliest possible viewing to avoid disappointment. REFMOB1319
