Description
This easy-to-operate business only requires one member of staff and provides the owner with a lovely lifestyle by operating limited hours each week. The shop offers birthday and hen party events, along with a modest online presence. With very low overheads, this business provides an excellent income for our client, and there is substantial potential to expand it further. A comprehensive handover and training will be offered, and the actual trading accounts will be made available after a successful formal viewing.
LOCATION
Situated in the much sought-after St Catherine's Hill, Frome, Somerset - Frome is a historic town with a charming centre and a wealth of architectural interest, complemented by a thriving contemporary performing arts scene. It embodies the quintessential image of a historic market town in Somerset. Conveniently located on the eastern border of Somerset, Frome is within easy reach of Bath, Bristol, Wells, and attractions in neighbouring Wiltshire, such as Longleat and Stonehenge. The town benefits from excellent transport links, including proximity to main motorways, as well as reliable rail and bus connections.
BUSINESS
The business has been established for many years and its location on Catherine Hill has proven to be highly lucrative. Over its long history, the business has developed strong relationships with key suppliers, and these vital contacts will be introduced during the handover process. While the online presence is already effective, there is significant potential for further development, which would only enhance the impressive trade figures. The online opportunity is immense but is currently untapped, and improving marketing for parties and events would enhance the already solid income stream. Detailed trading accounts will be made available following a successful formal viewing.
