Description

Description

For 40 years the business has been thriving, with loyal customers visiting year after year. The centre is well known for its plant and garden related products but also for its giftware, clothing and, in season, its spectacular Christmas collection and grotto. In addition, the very popular, 160 seat Rosie’s Restaurant is always busy. The business also includes an excellent website with a high level of online sales.

This garden centre occupying circa 2.25 acres site situated to the north of Liverpool should appeal to owner operators and companies alike.

Location

Maghull is prosperous a town within the parish of Sefton, Merseyside, approximately 7 miles northeast of Liverpool city centre, with Aintree to the south. It is separated from the Greater Liverpool area by Greenbelt.

The business is easily accessible from the motorway networks. Easily approached from the M58 and only a few minutes’ drive from the A59, on the edge of the town, with an industrial estate on its doorstep providing a large volume of traffic and passing trade.

The Opportunity

An excellent family run site, run professionally and presented to a high standard. The garden centre would be ideal for a multiple chain operator to bring their brand and operating model to this well located business, or a local independent operator to take on a highly profitable centre with clear opportunities for further concessions.

There are two separate buildings, one for the garden centre and another where Rosie’s Restaurant is located. The large outdoor area adjacent to the restaurant has plenty of seating for al fresco dining.

The indoor retail range offers horticultural products, household gifts, clothing, garden furniture, barbecues, hardware and water fountains. There is a spectacular Christmas display including a large multi room grotto, and also a separate room for seasonal events, including a very popular and profitable virtual reality sleigh ride.

Outdoor display area of shrubs, bedding plants and perennials under a new canopy with lighting and an irrigation system.

Staff

The business is family owned and managed along with an experienced and dedicated team of employees.

Full details can be made available to interested parties.
