Counter Newsagents, West Yorkshire

NEWS AND GENERAL STORE in Halifax for Sale.

An exceptional opportunity to acquire this long-established and well-regarded Newsagents and Convenience Store, ideally situated in a thriving and densely populated district of Halifax. The business occupies a prominent trading position, adjacent to a busy primary school and just 500 metres from Calderdale College, ensuring a steady stream of footfall from students, parents, and local residents throughout the day. Established in 2005, the business has been successfully operated by our clients for two decades, who are now looking to retire. Weekly turnover £4,500 to £5,000. It currently trades over seven days with manageable daytime hours and no late evening openings, presenting a fantastic opportunity for new owners to expand operations. There is significant scope to introduce an alcohol licence, extend opening hours into the evening, and diversify the product range to further increase revenue and profitability. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a solid, income-generating business with both commercial and residential elements, and with clear potential for growth under new ownership. The premises are available on either a leasehold or freehold basis, offering flexibility to suit the buyer’s investment strategy. The ground floor features a spacious, walk-round sales area with a well-positioned counter and cash-out facility, designed for efficient customer service and product display. The lower ground floor includes two generous storage rooms and a newly refurbished WC, providing ample space for stock management and staff facilities. Above the shop, a self-contained three-bedroom apartment spans the first and second floors. This residential unit is currently let on a 12-month Assured Shorthold Tenancy, generating a rental income of £500 per calendar month - offering an attractive additional revenue stream. Externally, the property benefits from an enclosed yard with parking space for one vehicle.
