Whole Food And Sweet Retailer In Rustington Sussex For Sale

Business description

We are delighted to offer for sale this thriving whole food and sweet retailer, which was established in 2000 and which has been in our clients' careful hands since 2009. The shop is only now offered to the market due to our clients' wish for a lifestyle change. The business trades 6 days a week, generating a turnover in the region of £90,000 per annum with a gross profit of 42%, derived from an extensive range of quality food and confectionery. We feel the turnover could be further increased by establishing sweets for commercial conferences or 'house parties'. Our clients have previously run these and they were successful and very profitable. The business has an excellent reputation and is renowned for its high quality products. There is also the opportunity to embark on a modest marketing campaign and to establish a website with online ordering facilities. The premises boast spacious 2-bedroom owners' accommodation with lounge, kitchen and bathroom. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire an already thriving food and confectionery retailer with immense scope for future growth. Early negotiations with us must come highly recommended.
