The current owner, Vigitharan Eeswarakumaran, bought the store in April 2025, transforming a vacant unit into a modern retail space. The property has been fully refitted including the installation of new refrigeration units, EPOS systems, and a comprehensive security setup. Above the convenience store are two self-contained apartments that have potential for additional rental income.

Due to personal demands, Mr Eeswarakumaran is selling the business. He comments, “I have really enjoyed creating this new business on the high street in Burnham-on-Sea. It has been a labour of love setting up the store, fitting it out with quality fixtures and stocking it for the needs of the local community. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen personal demands, I have decided to sell the business and provide a fabulous offering to a new operator.”

The sale presents a fantastic opportunity for a new owner to take over a fully operational and newly established store with no further investment required. With strong footfall, on-street customer parking, and a central location, the business is ideally positioned to serve both locals and visitors.

Matthew McFarlane, Business Agent – Retail at Christie & Co, added: “This really is a great opportunity for a new-to-industry or multi-site operator to take over a newly established convenience store on a busy high street in the centre of town. With recently fitted equipment throughout, this presents as a lucrative opening.”

Family Shopper is being sold leasehold with an asking price of £175,000.
