Weekly sales of c.£7,000 - £7,300. Secondary school located opposite. Two bed apartment above & private parking","archived":false,"description":"Description

An excellent opportunity to acquire a well-established independent convenience store serving the popular Armthorpe area of Doncaster. This c. 941 sq. ft store is positioned within a densely populated residential catchment and directly opposite a secondary school, the business benefits from consistent local footfall and regular repeat custom throughout the trading week.

The store currently generates weekly sales of approximately £7,300 and offers a comprehensive convenience retail proposition including grocery, chilled products, confectionery, tobacco, soft drinks and household essentials. Additional revenue is generated through Inpost & Evri ( c.£900 per month), Payzone and PayPoint services, helping to drive customer frequency and basket spend.

The business presents a straightforward operating model with strong local support and offers purchasers the opportunity to further develop the retail offering to suit local demand. Combined with valuable three-bedroom living accommodation above, the property provides an attractive owner-operator proposition or investment opportunity.

Location

The business occupies a prominent position within Armthorpe, a large and well-established residential suburb located approximately three miles east of Doncaster town centre. The area benefits from a substantial local population and a strong community-based customer demographic that supports regular convenience shopping patterns.

Its position opposite Armthorpe Academy creates consistent pedestrian activity during school hours, whilst the surrounding residential housing provides a dependable base of repeat customers. Armthorpe benefits from excellent road connectivity via the A630 and nearby M18 motorway network, with Doncaster remaining easily accessible for both residents and suppliers.

The combination of strong housing density, school-generated footfall and limited travel requirements for local shoppers makes this a compelling convenience retail location.

Fixtures & Fittings

All trade fixtures, fittings and equipment utilised within the day-to-day operation of the business are included within the sale, with the exception of any items subject to lease, third-party ownership or personal exclusion by the vendor.

External Details

The property occupies a visible roadside position with customer access directly from the pavement frontage. On-street parking is available immediately outside the premises, supporting convenient top-up shopping and regular local trade.

The shop benefits from good visibility within the surrounding residential area and enjoys strong passing pedestrian traffic generated by nearby housing and educational facilities.

Owner's Accommodation

The property benefits from self-contained residential accommodation located above the shop, offering additional value and flexibility for an owner-operator or as a separate rental income stream. The flat is accessed via its own private entrance and comprises an open plan kitchen, dining and living area, two well-proportioned bedrooms, and a family bathroom.

Externally, the accommodation enjoys a private garden along with off-street parking. Overall, this is a strong asset alongside the business, providing either convenient on-site living or the opportunity to generate supplementary income.

The Opportunity

This represents an excellent opportunity to acquire an established convenience store with proven turnover, residential accommodation and strong local trading fundamentals.

The current sales performance demonstrates an established customer base, whilst opportunities remain to further enhance turnover through extending product ranges, introducing additional services, expanding food-to-go offerings or implementing local delivery solutions where appropriate.

The combination of a densely populated residential catchment, school-generated footfall and affordable occupational costs creates a strong platform for future growth. The inclusion of a three-bedroom apartment further enhances the overall value proposition and provides flexibility for owner-operators, investors or family-run businesses.

The business is likely to appeal to independent retailers seeking their first store, experienced convenience operators looking to expand, or family purchasers seeking a retail business with integrated accommodation.
