The business
Dundonnell Village Store & Post Office has been a family operated business for over 16 years and is very much the hub of the local community. Due to the relatively sparse population the shop services a fairly wide area, covering a number of the more remote settlements. With the nearest supermarket nearly 1 hours drive away, the shop stocks a wide range of products to cater for most needs. These include newspapers, magazines, confectionery, soft drinks, tobacoo, beers, wines, spirits, cards, stationery, groceries,frozen foods, household goods, etc. The business also retains a community Post Office service. The business does however offer a degree of potential with short trading hours and a 6-day week which could be extended. New owners with fresh ideas will be able to increase turnover and profits easily. Income could of course be supplemented with a move into bed & breakfast or holiday rental market which there is undoubtedly a strong demand for during the summer months.
