Energy Rating D
An established Newspaper Kiosk with alcohol
This would be ideal as a family run store, or it would suit a hand's on multi-site operator.
Loughborough is the second largest settlement in the county after Leicester.
Loughborough is close to the Nottinghamshire border and is located near Leicester, Nottingham and Derby.
It is notable for its university, marketplace, and fair. Loughborough is home to the world's largest, and the UK's only, bell foundry, John Taylor Bellfounders, which has produced bells such as, Great Paul, the largest bell in the country, at St Paul's Cathedral.
LOCATION
This kiosk is based in the city centre, right next to the market in the heart of the pedestrianised area where almost all the public visiting the area will almost pass the kiosk, generating huge passing trade and footfall.
The site benefits from being surrounded by a huge shopping area, with lots of big multi store operators such as Boots, McDonalds, Holland & Barrett’s, Café Nero and much much more and the shop could go from strength to strength with someone that could and would commit the time and effort to the business.
There are lots of local businesses in the area and they all complement each other.
INTERNAL DETAILS
The kiosk is small, despite the restricted area has everything you would expect from a convenience store. It has, chillers, gondolas, fridges, newspaper and magazine racking, greeting card racks, lottery and much more.
External Details
The business benefits from being in the hub of the pedestrianised area 20 yards from the market and all the chain stores.
FIXTURES & FITTINGS
We are advised that all trade fixtures and fittings are owned outright and are included as part of the sale apart from the Coke and Red Bull fridges which are on promotion. New contracts can be made to keep them.
THE OPPORTUNITY
This kiosk/convenience store is the ideal business for either a hands on owner operator or a multi store operator. Due to the short hours this site could even be ran by an individual as it has been done for the last 18 years. The vendors poor health forces sale and he will be sad to leave as he enjoys the banter with the regular customers and other traders.
The news sheet stands around £1300 per week where the vendor has a contract with the council for newspapers and magazines.
Alcohol license is 7am – 10pm so the 4:30pm closure should definitely be increased to increase the alcohol sales,
Market days is Thursday and Saturday but there is almost always something happening on the other days.
Every other Sunday there is a fair
Christmas market lasts there for 6 weeks in the festive season.
There is always the famous Loughborough by sea week during the summer to look forward to.
This is a tight knitted community and the Kiosk is the hub in the centre.
Definitely worth a visit as the potential is huge.
