Expansion Potential
There are several potential areas for future growth within the business. For example, a new owner may wish to add to the range of produce offered, possibly with the addition of a butchers counter. Introducing a hardware section and maybe off licence sales of alcohol is another possibility, the premises are ideally located for the sale of alcohol products – subject to the necessary licensing.

Market / Competition / Non-Competition Agreements
Due to excellent word of mouth recommendations, the owners of the business have never felt the need to undertake an expensive advertising or marketing campaign. This may be seen as an opportunity by the new owners.
