About this business
This shop sells speciality groceries from around the world, including spices, rice, fresh produce and imported snacks, to a mixed local community in a Birmingham suburb. It rents its premises and has a team of five. Turnover has grown strongly, from £384k in 2021 to £570k, but margins are thin: adjusted EBITDA is only £26k. The asking price of £95k reflects that. A buyer could lift profit through better buying, a wider range of fresh lines or online orders for local delivery.
