Opportunity to acquire high street convenience store and post office in Somerset village

Located on Church Street in the village of Mark, the store is well-established and popular, serving the local and wider communities by stocking and selling everyday essentials and food-to-go, as well as providing Post Office services. The store has a good-sized trading area and plenty of storage, plus customer car parking to the front of the building, and three-bedroom owners’ accommodation with a garden.

Having managed the shop for the last eight years, owners Tina Philp and Mike King have decided to pass the reins to a new operator, to spend more time concentrating on other business interests.  Tina and Mike said: “We have thoroughly enjoyed running our shop in Mark. The store is unopposed in the village, and its main road position has been fantastic for our local customers and for passing commuters, with the Post Office really meeting the needs of the community. After eight years at the helm, we feel now is the right time for a new operator to take over and continue to look after our loyal customers.”

Matthew McFarlane, Business Agent at Christie & Co who is managing the sale, said: “It is a pleasure to be instructed to look after the sale of this business. This store is in a fantastic main road position with both a convenience and post office offering, and there is owners’ accommodation included, allowing the new operator to easily become a part of the local community and establish themselves as the ‘go to’ store in the area.”

The store leasehold is being marketed with an asking price of £125,000.
