Business for sale

Business description

Advent Business Sales have been instructed
to offer for sale this popular greengrocers
and whole food business.
Established in the late 1920’s, it has been
proudly owned by the current vendors since
2003, who have reluctantly decided to sell
due to other commitments.
Operated and staffed by the vendor with the
assistance of a part time employee, the
business offers a whole range of products
including:
• Fresh fruit and vegetables
• Dairy products
• Delicatessen products
• Fresh fish on certain days
• Fresh cut flowers
• Variety of whole foods
Our client also offers a delivery service.
The business has a reputation for providing
excellent customer quality and customer
service.
The premises are well equipped and
maintained pristinely throughout.

Sat: 8.30am – 1pm
EXPANSION POTENTIAL
Although already a highly successful
business, there is still ample potential to
further expand, this could include:
1. Increase delicatessen products to
incorporate further variations
2. Dedicate more selling space and
increase whole food lines. The sales
of whole foods has proved extremely
successful and with further
investment the stand alone sales of
these products would overtake
combined turnover of all other
products
3. Increase floristry offer
4. Pursue local residential and care
homes, with regard to supplying
regularly.
