General Stores Sales Data

The Raine and Horne Business Sales Database shows that leasehold general stores have had no significant increase in their median return for the last 10 years. Their gross profit percentage is stable and rents are still low. Interestingly, our data implies the median sale price has improved by 40% over that time.  This is reflected by the fact that this type of business is generally considered a lifestyle choice as it usually comes with a house and while it can trade long hours there is some flexiblity.
