Superb Card and Gift Shop in Worcestershire

Property Details

City Business Brokers are delighted to bring the market this very well-established concern which enjoys all the considerable commercial advantages of a highly visible and much sought-after trading position among other complementary outlets on a main road/high street location in a much sought-after village in Worcestershire. The business was established over 20 years ago and has been in the careful ownership of our client for the last 8 years.

Operating from substantial, secure and extremely well-fitted, one storey parade premises with town parking, the business currently primarily conducts a popular retail operation of an extensive selection of high-quality brand greeting cards for all occasions displayed to their very best advantage in a bright, spacious and well-appointed showroom area.

The business also stocks an excellent choice of associated gift items, gift bags, wrapping paper, leisure clothing, homeware, jewellery, beauty products, seasonal goods, and quality finest chocolates. It would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with ample scope for continued growth, not least with regard to still further expansion of the retail products and services currently provided and to operate extended hours in order to fully exploit year-round local retail demand.

All furniture, fixtures, fittings and equipment (circa £10,000) are included in the Asking Price. A valuable inventory of current stock (circa £25,000) would be in addition SAV.

The business has its own e-commerce website launched during 2020 this would offer considerable scope for expansion. The e-commerce website is also linked to strong social media platforms.

The business would benefit by adopting a more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing products, particularly with reference to the possible introduction of online advertising, in order to improve upon the already very respectable levels of turnover and profitability it is achieving in the hands of our client. We would strongly recommend the earliest possible viewing to avoid disappointment.
