Description

MILITARY, COUNTRY AND ADVENTURE BUSINESS in Norfolk for Sale.

Superb double-fronted, single-storey retail unit on a busy A-Road in Norfolk. A long-standing local specialist, it trades from its established shop while operating a strong direct-to-consumer website that now drives most sales. The business runs on easy hours over a six-day week. A buyer will acquire a business that successfully blends traditional retail with a well-developed e-commerce platform. Trading as a Military, Country and Adventure store since the 1970s, the business has grown into a national stockist for specialist outdoor and military lines. Its hybrid retail/online model has enabled consistent growth and adaptability. Recent accounts show turnover exceeding £300,000 per annum with an adjusted net profit of £31,551. Around 65% of sales are generated online, with the shop serving as a local showroom, collection point and fulfilment hub. Run by the owner with one member of staff, the business operates efficiently with low overheads. There is substantial scope for further growth, as the company does not currently trade on marketplaces such as eBay or Amazon. Listing on these platforms, along with modest investment in digital marketing and product range expansion, could significantly increase revenue without major capital costs. The double fronted, retail layout, provides practical retail flexibility: the space works as a single cohesive shopfloor with room for feature displays, branded bays and a counter / packing area for online order processing. The double frontage enhances window display potential on a busy arterial route into the city, increasing impulse and drive-by visibility for both walk-in customers and passing traffic. That physical presence combined with a nationally searchable website creates an effective dual channel for conversions and customer retention. This is an attractive opportunity for an operator seeking a manageable retail base with a proven online engine. As most sales come via the website, the business could also be relocated anywhere in the UK.
