Brocks at Rockwell Green, a Premier-branded convenience store near Wellington, Somerset is on the market as owners Simon and Rachel Brock are now looking to retire - after running the store for nearly 25 years.


Selling a wide range of products and everyday essentials, the store is “well-established and popular” among both the local communities.

“It has been a pleasure running the store for the last 23 years and serving the local community. It has been a tough decision to sell but we felt now was the best time to retire,” Simon said.

Specialist business property adviser Christie & Co has been instructed to market the property, which also features a variety of storage spaces, offices and independently accessed three-bedroom accommodation.

Matthew McFarlane, business agent at Christie & Co who is managing the sale, commented: “This is a fabulous store and property, offering a large sales area, great storeroom and residential accommodation. The sales figures are very strong which represents an excellent opportunity for corporate buyers or established multi operators.”
