Supermarket for Sale in Alcaucin, Costa del Sol, Spain

With over 20 years of service to the public, this very well established business just grows from strength to strength but with the commitment of a seven day week, the owners feel that it is too much for them at their age now hence the only reason for sale.

Located near Nerja being only 15 minutes from the nearest beaches and about 3 minutes from a famous lake, this pretty “chocolate box” village is full of life with many bars and restaurants, its major fiestas throughout the year that attract people from all over the Malaga Province, National Park and the many companies that offer hiking trips which is extremely popular.

Do not be fooled in thinking that because this supermarket is located in a village that it is a quiet life.  

11 years ago the owners of this supermarket started at a farmer´s market. This was a big learning curve for them but through grit and determination they succeeded to the point of taking on a rental unit which later they became the owners of the building. At this time there was nothing apart from Estate Agents, Bars and furniture shops.

Since the supermarket opened, the area is now a buzzing community and mainly due to having immediate access to daily produce and products. Their success has grown from strength to strength –  one of their suppliers has even agreed to not supply anyone else with a 25 mile radius of the shop.

The shop is fully fitted supplying most of the expats and holiday makers. They are the sole suppliers of British newspapers/magazines inland, and currently sell British ambient food, fresh fruit & vegetables, frozen foods, greeting cards, household goods, cleaning materials, cosmetics, stationery, books, gifts, jewellery, novelty clocks, watches, pens etc, flowers……

The shop has a walk-in freezer, 9 glass topped display freezers, a full and very large vegetable fridge, 5 check stock room freezers, security cameras inside and out, alarm system, two computerised tills and a new computer (POS) with stock control having unlimited space for stock items (currently holding 15,000 items).  Recently they have introduced gluten, wheat and dairy free products due to popular demand shipped in from the UK.

They also offer a postal service back to the UK whatever the size (subject to the delivery company involved) and as a thank you to their regular customers, they offer a loyalty card offering discounts and they have a customer Christmas Club, where the customers receive an extra 20% on top of their savings to spend in the shop.

There is also an outside area include for displaying certain products which encourages more people into the shop.  Whether your customers are looking for quality celebrations cards, gifts or food produce, you will find that the prices are very competitive without skimping on the quality.  

This is a real “Aladdin´s Cave” but if you cannot find what you are looking for, they will source and supply for you.

Stock is currently held at a value of approximately €200,000 euro.  The supermarket is very profitable with a daily takings spreadsheet available upon request. The sellers are so confident about their business that they are willing to offer a three month handover period to show you the ropes and, if you require holidays or time back home they will cover these times (if required) also to ensure that the success of the business continues as it has done for all these years.
