New lease of life for Wigan’s Whelley Road Service Station

The leasehold of the BP branded forecourt Whelley Road Service Station situated in Wigan, Lancashire has been sold to an independent multiple operator through specialist business property adviser, Christie & Co.

James Moore-Martin, Senior Business Agent at Christie & Co’s Manchester office who brokered the sale comments; “Sold confidentially, Whelley Road Service Station was under offer within two weeks of instruction, demonstrating that demand for forecourts booming.”

The Whelley Road Service Station was sold off a new 20 year leasehold basis off an undisclosed price.
