TRADING INFORMATION
Disqu Blu has been an established newsagents/convenience store for over 75 years selling groceries, confectionery, tobacco/cigarettes, newspapers and magazines, ice creams, greeting cards, crisps, snacks and soft drinks. The business does not retail alcohol and trades Mon-Sun from 6am to 6:30pm.

The current owner operators have decided to sell the business, thus creating an exciting self-employment opportunity. The operation prides itself on the personal touch and this would be vital for any new owner to have the same ethos and outlook. The bespoke service the current owners provide is reflective of the success of the business and in turn, the return custom.

The sale of Disqu Blu provides an opportunity to acquire an easily manageable retail business. New owners will benefit from premises enjoying an established trading position on a busy thoroughfare. Extending the trading hours may provide scope to increase sales.
