The store has a clean modern fit out, is well stocked and very well merchandised in keeping with a basic corporate layout giving the store good flow with lots of colour. The store also has its own ATM which is very handy providing additional customer service and retail sales.
A computerized Point of Sale System with two service points are located to the front of the store which is linked to a back office making it extremely easy to track sales, change prices and view or print any myriad of reports to track the stores performance.
The store also holds a food licence giving provision for all sorts of food handling including cooked food. All the plant and equipment included in the sale is maintained in the highest order and serviced regularly for compliance and efficiency.
The business has a long lease in place with approximately 3 years to go on the current lease followed by 2 x 5 years options taking you through to the end of February 2031.
