THE BUSINESS:
EMF are delighted to present for sale this profitable and well-established garage business, situated in the prime village location of Poringland, approximately 5 miles south of Norwich City. Elvin's Garage has been serving the community since 2003, when the current owners took over the business. The site has been a garage and fuel station since 1957 and enjoys a loyal base of customers who return for the high-quality workmanship and excellent customer service - with much new work won from word-of-mouth. The business is located on the busy main road through the village and there is limited competition locally, with no other fuel station close-by. Poringland has a population of over 6,000 and offers a range of local amenities including shops, public houses, restaurants, schools, a modern medical centre and library. The business is easily accessible and enjoys excellent transport links to the A146, A47, Norwich City (approximately 5 miles north) and the surrounding towns and villages. Subject to planning, there is great scope to redevelop the site into a potential supermarket, petrol station with convenience store, further retail or housing to further compliment the existing business.
