Talking Retail Grocery and product news for independent retailers
New owners Vijay and Meenaben Odedra have bought the convenience store and off licence which has been operated by John Blount and Hayley Smith for 18 years, previously under the Bargain Booze facia and more recently as an independent store. The couple made the decision to sell the store so they could concentrate on their family and other interests.
Dave Morris, director in Christie & Co’s Retail team, said: “John and Hayley have worked really hard to build a great business that is perfect for a first-time buyer. Their store standards and customer service have given them a great reputation locally, and the demand for convenience retail assets remains so strong, we were able to achieve a swift deal at a great price.”
The Odedras say they have no immediate plans to make any significant changes to the store.
