Spar Store Sold to Existing Operator 

A Spar licensed convenience store in Cumbria has been sold to an existing operator, in a deal facilitated by Kings Business. 

Located in the picturesque and popular market town of Keswick, in Cumbria, the well-established business had been under family ownership for 15 years. During that time, it has built a strong reputation within the community, fostering an extensive and loyal customer base. The spacious premises offers a comprehensive range of products and features an EPOS system, CCTV, and ample refrigeration. 

Positioned amongst guest houses, holiday cottages, and private residences, this thriving store benefits from a prime location, close to the town centre. The store enjoys high footfall from locals, tourists, and passing trade, with Keswick being a year-round destination for walkers and visitors exploring the Lake District’s iconic Skiddaw, Helvellyn, and Scafell mountains. 

With the business coming onto the market due to the client looking to retire, Kings Business Sales Negotiator, Stephen Croft, identified the ideal buyer in the existing operator.

Commenting on the sale Stephen said: “I am very pleased to have helped in the successful sale of this fantastic store. It was great to work with both the buyer and client to reach an agreement and I wish the new owners every success as they continue to build on the store’s outstanding reputation.”
