TRADITIONAL VAPE SHOP

DISS, NORFOLK

An opportunity to acquire an independent vape retail business occupying a well-positioned location in Diss, South Norfolk. The business specialises in the sale of e-cigarettes, vape liquids, disposable devices and related accessories, serving an established base of local customers.

Trading from an established town-centre premises, the business is recognised for its approachable service and accessible product range. Its focus on in-store retail has created a dependable, repeat-purchase customer base, with further potential to enhance visibility and sales through online channels and digital engagement.


BUSINESS:

Income is generated primarily through over-the-counter sales, supported by regular customers purchasing consumable products such as e-liquids and disposable devices.

Stock includes a comprehensive range of vaping products, from entry-level devices to advanced kits, alongside accessories and consumables. An own-brand e-liquid range is in place, supported by established supplier relationships and compliant production processes that can transfer to a new owner.

The current owners operate the shop directly, and no employees will transfer with the sale. Full supplier introductions will be provided to support continuity. The premises are equipped with an EPOS system, CCTV and alarm protection, supporting efficient day-to-day retail operations.

Customer loyalty is driven by product knowledge, service quality and convenience, with demand generated largely from Diss and the surrounding residential catchment. While the existing model is centred on physical retail, there is scope to introduce e-commerce, customer databases and targeted marketing to broaden revenue streams.


PREMISES:

The business operates from a leasehold retail unit in Diss, configured for vape retail use and presented in good condition. The premises benefit from a glazed frontage, internal display areas, a fitted service counter and dedicated storage space, creating a practical and efficient trading environment.

The unit provides a spacious retail area with additional rooms suitable for storage and office use, together with staff facilities including a kitchenette and WC. An EPOS system, CCTV coverage and an alarm system are also installed.
