Village General Store And Newsagents  For Sale Buxton Derbyshire

An excellent opportunity has become available to acquire a long-established village general store and newsagents in the attractive rural village of Hall Bank near the spa town of Buxton, on the edge of the Peak District.

At the heart of the community for over 100 years, this much loved store has been successfully run by the same owner for the past 18 years and is now being offered for sale due to retirement.

The business generates consistent revenue, with weekly counter newspaper sales between £1,000 and £1,400, alongside strong Lotto and PayPoint trade. The store is also well known locally for its fresh bread, milk, locally sourced cooked meats, and popular hot pies, all of which keep customers returning on a daily basis.

For the year ending 31st March 2024, the business achieved a net turnover of £338,325. With a proven track record and reliable customer base, it represents a profitable and secure venture for a new owner.

There is considerable scope for growth. Introducing alcohol sales (subject to planning permission) could add a valuable revenue stream, making this an ideal opportunity for ambitious new owners to build on strong foundations. To support a smooth transition, the current owners are happy to provide a full handover period.

The premises are held on a full repairing and insuring lease until 31st December 2026, with very low rent at just £400 per month. The landlord has also confirmed they are open to granting a new lease on flexible terms, ensuring security for the incoming buyer.

Buxton is renowned for its stunning Georgian architecture, historic Crescent, Pavilion Gardens and Opera House, and is a gateway to the Peak District, attracting thousands of visitors each year. The shop’s charming village setting provides both steady local trade and seasonal tourist footfall, making it a highly sustainable business.

This is a rare chance to acquire a thriving, long-established general store with strong community ties and clear potential for further growth, all within one of Derbyshire’s most desirable locations.
