1/1Sweets and Party Novelty Shop
Business description
The shop stocks a wide variety of sweets, party novelties, party packs, gift packaging, stickers and soft toys. In addition to the retailing of the products in the shop the business also prepares party packs for groups. Party packs are mostly standard in price and content with a few variations. The business also caters for special orders which often have to be sourced outside its regular suppliers. The business has been operating for more than seven years and has grown in familiarity with the local community. The shop offers attractive price options for the not so affluent customers who desire to have something special for their children's parties.
Any prospective buyer will be required to complete an Aldes Gold Business Brokers non disclosure agreement, a copy of which is attached.
