About this business
A small convenience store selling groceries, drinks and household essentials from a freehold unit in a York shopping centre. Since opening in 2021 turnover has grown every year, from £348k to £510k, though EBITDA is modest at £32k because margins on groceries are thin. The store has 4 staff. The asking price of £75k is well below net assets of £256k, largely the freehold. A buyer gets an owned unit and growing sales.
Key investment highlights
