With the the current owners looking to take early retirement after operating the business successfully for more than 17 years, EM&F are delighted to offer this thriving convenience store with exceptional residential accommodation on a Freehold basis.

The Business

Enjoying something of a local monopoly in this residential area of Skipton, over many years our client has established an enviable reputation for reliability and service with a strong and loyal clientèle.

With turnover of approx £11,000 per week (ex VAT), the business has a wide product offering ranging from frozen and chilled foods, newspapers & periodicals, confectionery, greetings cards, tobacco and alcohol. Ancillary services including National Lottery, PayPoint and parcel collection (UPS, Amazon and Collect Plus) are also provided from the attractive, well-equipped, air-conditioned, and self-contained retail premises.
