Coastal Road, Burniston, Scarborough

CPH are delighted to bring to the market this highly successful freehold Garden Centre. Burniston Nurseries is located on the busy A165 Coastal Road, in an affluent area between Burniston and Scalby and lies adjacent to the Scarborough to Whitby Cinder Track (a hugely popular walking and cycling route). The business specialises in selling a comprehensive range of plants, pots, compost, patio furniture and sundries, however we are ‘of the opinion’, the product range could be expanded to include the sale of bigger items such as sheds or hot tubs. Also, its given its ideal position on the Cinder Track, we feel it could be very profitable to hire bikes out, whilst also creating a café/coffee shop offering – subject to gaining the required planning consent.

The business has traded for 31 years by the same family and is run by the two owners + one full time member of staff and 4-6 part time seasonal staff. The business used to trade all year round but due to the owner’s intended retirement, it now trades March through to October. Clearly, any new incoming owner could choose increase the openings but according to the owners “it’s a pleasurable and relatively easy business to run with low overheads and operating costs”. The business has consistently good trading figures resulting in attractive gross and net profits (accounts are available to view to seriously interested parties).

The site benefits from a huge 90m frontage onto the A165 road and has a regular and loyal customer base from Scarborough, Whitby, Filey, Bridlington and Pickering together with the surrounding areas. The business has moved with the times and has a good online presence and has tills linked to their back office EPOS system. STOCK AT VALUATION.
