Wyton Bar Service Station, a BP-supplied petrol filling station and forecourt shop in Bilton, near Hull, has been sold to a growing independent forecourt group owner.
Located on Main Road, the site also includes a tenanted workshop and car wash.
The site was sold by Sewell On The Go. Managing Director, Patrick Sewell, said: “It was a difficult decision for us to put Wyton Bar up for sale, as we had a great team running the store and a loyal local customer base, but we are confident that the new owner will continue to operate high standards and enhance the site into the future.
“We are now looking to the future of our wider business and the sale will allow us to reinvest elsewhere to ensure we remain a great place to work and leading convenience retailer for our customers.”
The site has been acquired by a growing independent forecourt group owner, who plans to continue running the site as it is, whilst looking to develop and increase the site’s offering in the future.
Andrew Birnie, Director at Christie & Co who managed the sale, said: “We were delighted to work for Patrick on this, the only forecourt they have sold. Sewell On The Go is an extremely strong and well known forecourt brand, in particular in the East Riding of Yorkshire region.
“This was a specific task where only one of the group was being sold, and the remainder will be strengthened going forward.
“Forecourts in this price range are in very high demand, from new entrants to the sector, first time buyers moving up from stand-alone convenience stores, and small groups already owning two or three sites. We had strong interest which produced a range of offers from as far North as Scotland and South as London.”
The site was sold at an undisclosed price.
