There is scope for continued growth ie trading in MP 3,s  Sat Navs , Computers, Mobiles and Sound Systems , the current owners are post retirement age and have tended because of thier limitations concentrated on Bikes ,Electric Tools and musical instruments .

The business currently opens only 3 days a week  and yet results in a £90000 + turnover pa and £40000 profit!  Cash !   the possible introduction of 3 or 4 extra trading days could potentially further increase turnover by up to 50%  The business would also benefit greatly by adopting a far more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing facilities and services, particularly with reference to the introduction of on-line advertising and ordering in order to improve upon the already high levels of turnover and profitability it has achieved since being established in its present form some twenty five years ago by the current owners and we would strongly recommend the earliest possible viewing to avoid disappointment.
