Leasehold Pet & Feed Warehouse For Sale

Business description

SBS Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this expanding pet and feed warehouse business which our client is placing on the market in order to concentrate on other business interests.

The business benefits from a loyal customer base of local pet owners, small holders and kennel operators.

Founded in February 2006 by the vendors, as an additional outlet to their existing business located elsewhere within Norfolk, its turnover has grown consistently year on year.

They stock a wide range of leading brands of pet food, working dog mixtures and farm animal feed, together with a large selection of both small and large animal accessories such as kennels, hutches etc.

Currently the day to day management of the business is carried out by the vendors in conjunction with overseeing their other business interests. Shop sales and warehouse duties are undertaken by one full-time and four part-time members of staff.

We believe that considerable cost savings could be made by having full time working owners, ideally a husband and wife team. There is also scope for growth by expanding the range of aquatic products – the premises have ample room for expansion.

Early viewing is highly recommended.
