Business Information

The business occupies an outstanding prominent position in the very centre of Storrington in West Sussex. This affluent and attractive town is located between Horsham and Worthing at the foot of the beautiful South Downs.

 

The shop has a superbly presented retail area with eye-catching displays and high-quality fixtures & fittings. There is a useful preparation area and also a storeroom/office with kitchenette & toilet. The self-contained one-bedroom flat has recently benefitted from a full refurbishment including a new central heating system and new carpeting throughout. Both the kitchen and bathroom were also fully refitted. Off the entrance hall to the flat, there is an additional room which is currently used as a storeroom but could possibly be used as an extra bedroom.

 

The shop was established by the current owners over 20 years ago, and is currently run by one full-time working owner with assistance from part-time staff. With an appealing selection of high-quality cards, gifts & gift wrap, party ware, Belgian chocolates and helium balloons, the shop is a popular destination for both the locals and visitors to this lovely historic town. Accounts for the year ended 31^st July 2013 show Annual Sales of £141,579 with a Gross Profit of £72,890.

 

The new owner will not only be taking over a well-established shop in a prestigious location, but will also have the potential to introduce new lines such as children’s clothes and toys, and to develop online sales which would complement the successful retail business.

 

Leasehold £37,500. Ref: BC31319T
