Friday, 8 February 2019
SOLD - Urmston Post Office & Subway Franchise, Manchester
This is a very rare opportunity to acquire a thriving post office which is one of the premier, Mains Post Offices in the North West. Additionally the business benefits from a very prosperous private trade as a Newsagents and Subway franchise which offers the benefits of being part of an international brand with the support and national advertising that only being part of such a global company can bring. In addition the business is crying out for an off licence to be added to the existing offering and crucially, the premises can provide the space to develop the Newsagents business in to a full, convenience store, which in our opinion, would boost the already impressive turnover and profits very much further. The premises which are held on lease benefit from a very sensible rent and occupy a PRIME TRADING POSITION. The business which is run predominantly by staff boasts one of the best Post Office commissions seen for some time. Huge scope for full time working owners to make substantial savings in wages and thereby boost profits considerably. EARLY VIEWING HERE COMES HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by this office as we do not anticipate this business being on the market very long given its dominance and profitability. The Post Office attracts large numbers of customers (averaging 2,370 customer sessions per week) which provides the private business with large number of potential customers. Premises briefly comprise: Beautifully and professionally fitted and equipped sales shop which is spacious and offers a fully fitted Subway franchise unit with preparation kitchen off which also offers a walk in cold room and walk in freezer. The Newsagent is between the post office and Subway and offers a combi till whilst the Post Office has both fortress and open positions and digital application services booth. To the rear of the premises is a service corridor, private, managers office, staff WC and staff kitchen. Business on lease. Ref: 581466
