A rare trading opportunity on Team Valley: an established independent drinks retailer with on- and off-licences, wholesale and import permissions, plus an EB sui generis licence covering on-site consumption and hot-food takeaway. The main showroom (circa 980 sq ft) is a bright, high-ceilinged industrial space with substantial rooflights, clear circulation and an ancillary café area to the rear. A neighbouring 560 sq ft unit is available as a dedicated storage and packing facility, supporting e-commerce and busy seasonal fulfilment.
The business is leasehold for a guide price of £72,000 with annual rents of £8,580 + VAT (main unit) and £5,940 + VAT (adjacent storage) — predictable running costs for operators. The trading history since 2000 and an established e-commerce platform deliver repeat wholesale and bulk customers, giving immediate turnover potential and scope to increase revenue through extended opening hours.
Material considerations are straightforward: the property sits within an industrial trading estate and presents an urban, practical frontage rather than a high-street appearance. Broadband speeds are slow and the surrounding area records very high crime and significant deprivation, which may affect evening trade and staff recruitment. The sale is leasehold, so incoming operators should review lease terms and planned rent commitments before purchase.
Overall, the asset suits a buyer seeking an operational drinks retail and fulfilment business with strong seasonal demand, clear expansion levers (extended hours, takeaway, wholesale growth) and ancillary storage already in situ. Practical improvements — faster internet, targeted security measures and marketing to broaden local and online demand — would enhance performance quickly.
