    Business Description

    My Own Business are delighted to present this outstanding opportunity to acquire a thriving commercial proposition of uncommon quality and real further potential, which we are confident you will agree represents genuine value.

    This long established store has become an important focal point of the community in the course of many years’ highly successful trading by providing an extremely useful range of traditional Post Office services for local residents including postage, pensions, benefits, car tax, passports, currency exchange and personal banking etc.

    The Post Office services naturally generate considerable extra trade for a highly complementary retail operation of wide selection of greetings cards, stationery and daily shopping essentials, together with a range of traditional over-the-counter news, confectionery and tobacco lines, beers wines & spirits and associated sundries, all displayed to its best advantage in a bright spacious and secure customer service area.

    “Bearsden Post Office & Convenience Store” also holds valuable, commission-earning National Lottery, electronic Paypoint and MoneyGram international money transfer franchises and operates from premises of a size which would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with ample scope for continued growth, not least with regard to still further expansion of the retail products currently offered.

    The business would also benefit greatly by operating considerably extended retail hours in order to improve upon the already high levels of turnover it is achieving in the hands of the current proprietor, with the aid of a small team of three experienced and motivated staff who would be an asset to any purchaser, and we would strongly recommend the earliest possible viewing to avoid disappointment.
