Well Appointed Launderette In Preston Lancashire For Sale

Business description

We are delighted to offer for sale this busy launderette, which was established by our client in 2009 and which is only now offered to the market due to ill health. The business trades 7 days a week and generates a turnover in the region of £55,000 per annum with a gross profit of 92%. The launderette offers coin-operated washing machines, service washes, ironing and a dry cleaning service through an agent, along with a collection and delivery service. We feel the turnover could be increased by installing a drying cleaning machine. There is also the opportunity to extend the opening hours. Our client has spent approximately £50,000 on new machinery over the last two years. The business is renowned for its excellent professional service ensuring much repeat trade. The business has its own website, which is included in the sale. We feel this is an ideal opportunity to acquire an already busy launderette with scope for future development. Early negotiations with us must come highly recommended.
