Specialist business property adviser, Christie & Co is pleased to announce the sale of Towlers Newsagents, a well-established newsagent located in the heart of Thirsk, North Yorkshire.   

Occupying an excellent town centre location on Market Place, Towlers Newsagents is a very profitable business which enjoys a high level of trade from local residents and tourists.
