FLORIST - DRAYTON, NORWICH, NORFOLK

Located in the heart of Drayton - a busy and well-connected suburb to the northwest of Norwich - Oops-a-Daisy offers an excellent opportunity to take on a respected, stylish and well-located florist business which has been open for over 20 years. This beautifully presented shop is situated on a busy main road with good footfall, adjacent to other local amenities including a café and petrol station, helping to drive consistent passing trade. With an established reputation and strong digital infrastructure, it is ideally placed for a new owner to walk in and continue operations with minimal disruption.

BUSINESS:

The business executes approximately 700 orders a month and benefits from an Interflora membership and has a loyal following that includes long standing customers, corporate clients and now also Deliveroo customers. It's website is fully integrated with an efficient back-end system for reminders, stock and digital marketing - supported by a customer mailing list exceeding 10,000 subscribers.

The current owners have invested significantly in branding and systems, with a further new ready-to-launch nationwide website for a new concept in event flowers. Although not currently wedding-led, the business is well-positioned to expand further into this sector and the new website will no doubt provide much new traffic to the business. Additionally there are no current contracts in place with undertakers and this could be another area of the business which can be expanded upon. The business benefits from a separate website covering Great Yarmouth together with a landline number serving that area. The company are members of the Good Florist Guide, the British Florists Association and Direct2Florists all of which promote the business and provide valuable turnover streams. The team currently includes three full-time staff and an apprentice, plus a dedicated delivery driver. There is also scope for continued involvement from the current owners under terms to be agreed, offering a valuable transition period if desired.

PREMISES:

The premises make a superb first impression with a full-width glazed shopfront and a smart brick-paved forecourt, ideal for outdoor displays of flowers, garden items or seasonal features. An electric canopy adds both visual appeal and practicality. Internally, the retail space is beautifully presented, featuring a handcrafted service counter, bespoke wooden display units, soft spot lighting, wood-effect vinyl flooring, and air conditioning.

To the rear, a spacious and thoughtfully laid-out preparation area includes a large flower prep table with a ribbon and packaging station. The area flows into a further order assembly section, complete with workbench and generous storage. There's a linked computer point for processing orders, plus a Mac and PC setup for admin. A personal ribbon printer and VOIP telephone system are also included.

The premises benefit from a triple-door clear-glass refrigeration unit for floral storage, a kitchenette with built-in oven and microwave, and a private staff cloakroom. Rear windows are double-glazed and the unit is bright, secure and energy-efficient. Customer parking is available nearby and the location is easily accessible by road.
