A petrol station and shop has gone of the market.

The Gulf filling station in Ramsgate includes the on-site Bargain Booze off licence and convenience store.

Situated on the High Street in St Lawrence, it has a net turnover of around £20,000 a week.

The site has been owned by the Morrison family for over 50 years and they have now decided to sell in order to pursue other business interests.

Partner in the business, Annabel Du Plessis, explains: “It’s a shame to be selling what is a very busy petrol station but the time is right for us to focus on other things.”

Jack Dudley, senior business agent at property firm Christie & Co, which is handling the sale, said: “This site is located in the heart of St Lawrence on a busy main road and fuel volumes have been consistently high. Along with a healthy income from the mains contract post office, this is an excellent opportunity for a new purchaser to continue to grow the business and build on the established trade.”

The freehold interest of the Gulf petrol station and Bargain Booze store is on the market at an asking price of £1,650,000.
