Business

Hilton Smythe welcomes to the market an exciting opportunity to acquire an exceptionally well run and performing, “turn key” mini supermarket store business with an excellent reputation.

The business has been placed on the open market as it’s our clients desire to leave the industry and take well-earned retirement after many successful years of trading.
