The shop will close for a short period of time while extensive refurbishment and re-modernisation is carried out.
The sale was handled by Andrew Birnie of Christie + Co’s Newcastle office, he comments: “We are delighted to conclude the sale of this profitable store on behalf of our client, to whom we wish a peaceful retirement.”
“While the store is already well-supported by locals, Mr. Singh is keen to make the store even more convenient to customers by offering a wider range of convenience products, reintroducing the sale of alcohol and extending the opening hours. We wish him all the best for the future.”
