Gift And Card Shop In Hay On Wye For Sale

Business description

The Business:-

- Chattels is a design led quality card & gift store that has traded for 25+ years in the well known book town of Hay-on-Wye on the border of Herefordshire & Powys.

- It is a landmark, as lifestyle, business trading from a 16th century character double shop lock-up unit (leased), with excellent shop frontage (two doors/four windows), on a centre of town thoroughfare overlooking the Butter Market & adjacent to the central car park. The shop floor is around 900 sq feet, with an attached garage for storage. All shop fitting is of a bespoke professional standard.

- Hay benefits from local trade as well as all year round visitor footfall; this is particularly increased during the International Literary Festival in May (c 200,000 visitors) as also for other many numerous events in the town throughout the year. The river, mountains & border areas attracts visitors from the UK & overseas. The town has a good range of independent shops, cafes, pubs & B&B’s, etc. It is of course also a well noted book town.

- Very strong trading relationships with many major known suppliers of cards, china, toiletries, toys, children’s clothes, bags, scarves, jewellery & many general gifts.

- It is an ideal business for a husband & wife operation with minimal staff support. It currently operates seven days a week (not January); albeit the business will still provide a good income if opening hours are reduced to suit lifestyle changes.
