Retail Kiosk for Sale within Scunthorpe Bus Station
Current owner reluctantly seeks a quick sale due to family and other business commitments.
Well established (approx. 40 years) retail kiosk in a prime location within Scunthorpe Bus Station in the town centre of Scunthorpe.
This small and attractive business venture is located in an area with high foot-traffic, making it a ripe opportunity for a keen, entrepreneurial and enthusiastic owner.
The kiosk currently sells newspapers, magazines, cigarettes, disposable vapes, National Lottery, scratchcards, confectionary/crisps as well as hot and cold drinks.
There is considerable scope to grow the business with the introduction of services such as parcel drop offs, PayPoint services and expanding existing products as well as increasing the trading hours.
There is also the possibility of introducing hot food (subject to consent from the landlord) which would no doubt prove valuable with high profit margins. The current owner simply does not have the time to grow the business.
There is a nearby School and library which any new owner could capitalise on with products catered for such customers.
This is an ideal business for an individual owner looking for a steady and stress-free income.
Turnover
The current turnover of the business is an impressive £110,000 of which approx. £25,000 is generated from National Lottery and scratchcard sales.
