The agent continued: "Our clients have owned and operated this wonderful business in beautiful Comrie now for almost five years.
"Formerly trading more as a gift shop along with the post office, the retail offering changed more to a convenience offering during Covid to meet demand in the area.
"An alcohol licence was granted so there is potential to transform the space fully into a convenience store if required. There is a limited selection of groceries available at the moment along with a good selection of greeting cards, stationery and some gifts."
