What a fabulous opportunity for somebody already working within the natural health industry or with an interest in alternative medicine and healthy living to take advantage of our clients’ hard work to date and develop this profitable business further. The business on offer trades from stylish, well-equipped premises within a small prestigious development of independent retailers on a popular Essex high street, just a few doors away from Marks & Spencer and other nationally recognised brands. Since establishing the business three years ago our client has built an enviable reputation for excellent customer service and product range, a new owner will undoubtedly benefit from that work as they grow the business further. Product lines currently include health foods, supplements, medicinal and nutritional support in addition to super foods, cereals and dry foods and a refilling service for detergents and liquids. One aspect of the business which provides huge, untapped potential is by utilising the commercial kitchen to create and sell smoothies, healthy soups & breakfasts, healthy lunches, protein drinks, teas and juices. We cannot see any competition within the immediate area for this additional income stream. The client is only now considering selling due to other business commitments.
Location wise, the premises trade from impressive premises within a busy market town with significant passing trade (around 2000 visitors a day passing the front door of this business) and services and affluent customer base. We have produced a 360' virtual tour for this business to highlight the opportunity further, we would suggest an immediate appointment to meet the seller and view in person.
