Jolly Molly, Shore Road, Isle of Arran, KA27 8AJ

This unique Island business was established in 2009 and has grown in popularity over the past 8 years and is now an iconic part of the Arran visitor experience and is much loved by both the locals and visitors alike.

The business operates as a gift shop offering an exceptional range of stock including home accessories, candles, greetings cards, homeware, stationery, jewellery and much more. This business has grown in popularity over the years and is a great asset to the Isle of Arran. The shop produces a very good turnover of gross sales from its limited floor space that is generated completely from in-store sales. This could be developed further by introducing new products into the existing range. Although this is a well run business the current owner is unable to commit all her time to the shop and is based in Glasgow. We feel the turnover could be further increased significantly through online sales and more active marketing through social media as well as a more hands-on approach. Jolly Molly is an exceptional business that has an enviable reputation.

Arran itself is experiencing significant growth in visitor numbers through the introduction of RET and more people holidaying in the UK as well as increased foreign visitors.

The current owner is keen to find a buyer with a passion for the business and brand and is happy to spend time on the handover assisting with the first round of buying if required. The shop is extremely well presented and offers itself with a fantastic base of loyal customers ready for the next level.

There is a large retail space of approx. 600 sq ft, which is brightly coloured and well shelved. This space is used for gift presentation. There is bespoke shelving around the shop, allowing for a personal touch. In the centre of the shop is a pretty spiral staircase leading to storage space at first-floor level which could also be developed as an additional space for an office. There is also additional storage to the rear of the shop and in a large outside watertight shed. There is a kitchen area and toilet.
