Don't know how you come up with 30%. I believe the industry average is about 9.5%, however it would be a fairly sad newsagency to only be turning over 500K.

So if you bring the turnover up to around 1.5MIL the end result would be about the same.

By the way I happen to know where there is a good one for sale if anyone is interested
