These two excellent and profitable businesses and associated freehold are available immediately for an astute purchaser who wants to capitalize on the future that is so obvious in these holdings.
The supermarket and hardware store enjoy main road frontage and are operated as one businesses. They are on the market as a joint venture along with the extensive freehold property of buildings and approximately 6 blocks of land.
Supermarket:
The supermarket is currently trading under the FoodWorks banner and has to be the best supermarket around in terms of cleanliness, stock levels, layout and range of product. Although now operating in a highly commendable manner, further development is always possible.
The supermarket boasts extensive refrigeration and freezer units, huge workroom and storage area, office and toilet areas and 3 checkouts.
Hardware:
The adjacent Thrifty Link Hardware is also very well stocked and operated and offers a full range of hardware, hand tools and power tools plus a garden centre.
The hardware section has recently been relocated from an older building into a new purpose built shed.
Possible Cafe:
The area vacated by the hardware business is at the front of the current hardware shed and is now used for the display and sale of some secondhand furniture.
There is massive potential here to open a caf style food outlet to attract the high volume of passing traffic and those who stop at the public conveniences across the road.
Freehold:
The hardware and supermarkets are generally situated on three blocks of land while a further three vacant blocks immediately to the north of the business are also included in the sale. The range of uses to which this land could be used is limited only by one’s imagination.
General:
The supermarket and hardware could be operated by a couple with the aid of perhaps 1.5 FTE staff thereby realising substantial wages savings. The business also includes a large underground cellar and private office.
