Description
A thriving lock-up convenience store located in the picturesque town of Ashburton, Devon, is now available for sale. This store offers a wide selection of groceries, fresh and frozen products, snacks, pet foods, confectionery, soft drinks, hot food and alcoholic beverages. It also provides a range of magazines and daily newspapers, ensuring everything you need is under one roof. Ideally situated within a densely populated residential area, the store benefits from convenient parking right outside. This fantastic lifestyle business is being offered for sale due to the owner's health issues. Early viewings are highly recommended.
Located just a short walk from Ashburton's town centre, Balland Store is well-positioned to serve local residents while also attracting visitors and in close proximity to the large secondary school. With the stunning Dartmoor National Park nearby, the area draws significant tourist activity. Additionally, excellent transport links, such as the A38, provide easy access to Exeter and the national motorway network.
This convenience store has been successfully owner-operated for many years and is now on the market solely due to the owner's health concerns. The shop holds a full liquor licence and benefits from free parking outside. The store boasts impressive turnover and a strong net profit. However, there is significant scope to grow revenue by introducing services such as the National Lottery, PayPoint, scratch cards, an online delivery hub, and extended opening hours. Currently, there is no newspaper delivery service, this would be a great opportunity to increase revenue. Trading accounts will be made available after a successful formal viewing.
