The Convenience Stores for sale with us are historically one of our most popular sectors. The Convenience Store market has also been on the receiving end of much positive press which has helped push sales: Grocery Analyst IDG reported that the UK Convenience Market enjoyed a sales boost of 4.9% in 2010, and is growing faster than the Grocery Market as a whole. Convenience Stores now make up 20% of the overall Grocery Market, and sales across local shops have now reached £32.4bn - this is expected to grow by 33.7% to £41.3bn by 2015. These reports have meant that our Convenience Stores for sale are now even more popular with buyers.
Recent studies have also reported that Convenience Stores have grown in popularity due to consumers being “time poor” and reluctant to commit a large sum of money to a big shop all in one go. Instead they prefer to ‘pop in’ to a local Convenience Store to make a purchase as and when they need to do so – which is more good news for the Convenience Stores for sale with us.
Convenience Stores for sale are often seen as a good opportunity for first time buyers as they are not as complicated to run as some of the other types of businesses on the market. Unlike with Post Offices, for example, you do not need to apply to a body to buy a Convenience Store for sale, and there aren’t the same fixed procedures you may find running a business such as a café.
