Freehold Sports Shop For Sale

Business description

Advent Business Sales is pleased to have been instructed to offer to the market this very well established sportsshop which has been trading successfully since 1986.

The current vendors have been in constant ownership since its inception and are reluctantly selling due to health reasons.

The modern shop was recently refurbished and re-wired to high standards with suspended ceiling on the ground floor allowing ‘hidden’ lighting and windows on both front, side and oblique to both walls, giving a delightful openness to the property.

There is a good mix of customers from all over including nearby cities and town, this includes schools, local authorities and even the South Yorkshire Police force.

The shop supplies all available sports requirements, from dart board and darts to cricket gear including whites, pads, boxes, bats and balls, to rugby and football gear, tennis, squash, badminton, swimming and an all year round supply of ski equipment, including helmets, boots, clothing, ski’s, waxes, poles, gloves etc. This has proved highly popular.

The shop also provides an ‘on the spot’ racket re-stringing service.

On the ground floor, the walls are slatted for display purposes, with stands for clothing etc. The first floor is dedicated to ski wear, has pine walls and beams to give an alpine effect.

We are advised that stock at cost is approximately £60,000.

The business is staffed by the two vendors full time and one part time employee.

The business benefits from being Red Care alarmed, has steel shutters and a 4 CCTV system.

An Energy Performance Certificate will be made available upon request of further details where one is required for the business premises.
