The Business: The DIY store and complimenting bolt-on services have been trading here for over 30 years under the same family ownership. It is only now that retirement beckons that the property and business comes to the open market. The business currently has a weekly turnover in excess of £5,000 as its owners wind down and leave the store predominantly staff run. Historically, when both owners were far more engaged in the daily operation of the business.
