Based on a significant plot, Ross Road Garage benefits from excellent levels of passing trade due to its position on the busy A40, a main road with high traffic flow. The forecourt is ideally situated close to a mix of commercial and residential buildings and the surrounding villages also provide the business with a good catchment area.

The site, owned and operated by Mr Stewart Brown since May 2018, includes a number of petrol filling pumps, a well-maintained convenience store and large workshop. It has come to market as Mr Brown is looking to sell and relocate his MOT business.

Mr Brown comments, “The site has provided us with a steady income since May 2018 but we are now ready to sell and relocate. The forecourt would benefit from a fresh approach and I am confident more income can be generated by the right new owner.”

The forecourt presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a well sized site with great development potential and a strong retail business, with scope to increase trade. There is the opportunity to introduce a variety of product ranges and promotions, hot food options, and forecourt services to help increase turnover and gross profit margins.

Jamie Williams, Senior Business Agent in Christie & Co’s Retail team is handling the sale and comments, “Ross Road Garage is an exciting opportunity to acquire a well-located site with huge potential for development. There are increasingly few sites left which offer the opportunity to expand and redevelop in a good location and with so many options available it is an exciting project for someone to take on.”

Ross Road Garage is on the market with a guide price of £450,000, for the freehold.
