Company history/background
Special location
The location is a special one, namely on the Wadden Island of Vlieland. Vlieland has over 1,200 inhabitants and attracts around 175,000 tourists annually. A clientele with a holiday spirit who enjoy coming for a magazine, book, and/or souvenirs. Primera is the only point of sale for reading material and books on Vlieland, as well as the only PostNL point.
Given their age, the current owners have decided to sell their shop including the premises; this is a privately owned property, so it is not a rental. (The property also consists of an upstairs apartment of 125 m² with 3 bedrooms.)
The store has a sales floor area of 51 m², which could potentially be expanded by extending the store. A Geldmaat ATM is also located in the store, so PostNL is also part of this store. Due to tourism, there is significant sales of high-margin items such as books and souvenirs. Additionally, about 40% of the profit currently comes from tobacco. This will eventually cease, but there are still opportunities here.
