Sheehy Meares Real Estate are delighted to present Stop & Shop, Caltra, Ballinasloe, Co. Galway, H53 P5P6 to the market.

An outstanding opportunity to acquire a long-established and fully operational village convenience store, filling station and post office, offered for sale as a going concern in the heart of Caltra Village.

This well-established business serves the local community and surrounding hinterland, providing an excellent opportunity for owner-occupiers, investors or those seeking to expand their existing retail portfolio.

The filling station benefits from a forecourt with dedicated underground fuel storage tanks, comprising 2x diesel tank total capacity 30,000 liters, 1x Petrol tank total capicity 22,000 liters, and 2x Agri Diesel tanks total capacity 5,000 litres, providing substantial fuel storage capacity to meet customer demand. The retail element comprises a well-stocked grocery shop together with a fully operational post office, creating multiple income streams from one established location.

Strategically positioned on a well-travelled route through East Galway, Caltra acts as an important link between Ballinasloe, Mountbellew, Ahascragh and the surrounding rural communities. The village experiences consistent passing traffic from local residents, commuters, agricultural contractors and commercial vehicles, ensuring strong demand for fuel and convenience retail services. Notably, there is no competing filling station in the immediate locality, with the nearest service stations located in Ahascragh and Mountbellew, making Stop & Shop the primary fuel and convenience destination for Caltra and its surrounding catchment area. Building energy rating is B.

Occupying a prominent roadside position in the centre of Caltra Village, the property is ideally situated within walking distance of Caltra National School and the local GAA grounds. Castleblakeney, with its secondary school, is only a short drive away, while nearby Mountbellew offers an Irish-language primary school, secondary school and the renowned Mountbellew Agricultural College. Ballinasloe is approximately 15 minutes away, with Galway City reachable in around 40 minutes.

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a successful, community-focused business with an established customer base, multiple income streams and significant scope for future growth. Businesses of this nature rarely come to the market, particularly those occupying such a strong trading position within a rural community.
