Somerset village store and post office up for sale

People are being given the chance to take over a Somerset Village Store and Post Office.

Located on Church Street in the village of Mark, the store is well-established and popular, serving the local and wider communities by stocking and selling everyday essentials and food-to-go, as well as providing Post Office services.

The premises enjoy a generous trading space, ample storage, the advantage of customer parking at the front, and a three-bedroom residence complete with a garden.

But after eight rewarding years managing the store, owners Tina Philp and Mike King are ready to hand over the reins to fresh management as they shift focus onto other business ventures.

Reflecting on their tenure, Tina and Mike expressed: “We have thoroughly enjoyed running our shop in Mark. The store is unopposed in the village, and its main road position has been fantastic for our local customers and for passing commuters, with the Post Office really meeting the needs of the community. After eight years at the helm, we feel now is the right time for a new operator to take over and continue to look after our loyal customers.”

Matthew McFarlane, the Business Agent at Christie & Co, who is overseeing the sale, commented: “It is a pleasure to be instructed to look after the sale of this business. This store is in a fantastic main road position with both a convenience and post office offering, and there is owners’ accommodation included, allowing the new operator to easily become a part of the local community and establish themselves as the ‘go to’ store in the area.”

The leasehold for the store is currently on the market with a guide price of £125,000. For further details, you can view the property listing here: https://www.christie.com/3410517/.
