Business for sale

Business description

Advent Business Sales are pleased to offer to the market this extremely well established electrical and gift ware shop, which has been trading successfully for the past 35 years.

The current vendor has been in constant ownership from the beginning. The owner is reluctantly selling due to ill health in the family.

The original business started by our client was that of television and video repair and servicing. As this business declined, our client looked round for another trading opportunity. This eventually led to the shops offer as it is today, notably small domestic appliances, everyday tools, watches, gifts and lighting as well as clocks and personal radios, appliance interfaces and associated products.

The shop is sole agent for the prestigious ‘Betty Boop’ figurines.

The shop is generally of good décor and displays its sales products exceptionally well, maximising space to the best usage.

The size of the retail establishment is some 500 sq ft with a gross frontage of 14’ x 4’.

We are advised that stock at cost is approximately £25,000.

Two full time employees staff the business,

There is permission to revamp the site or to join the rear of the shop to the old repair workshop, making an extension to the sales area. This would more than double the display area. There is no doubt that this is a shop with a niche market in the area and would be ideally suited to a younger couple.
