Laundry And Dry Cleaning Service In Cumbria For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this popular laundry and dry cleaning service, which was established by our client in 2003 and which is only now being placed on the market due to our client's wish to emigrate. This unique business is committed to customer service and quality, utilising state-of-the-art equipment and well-trained staff to offer a quality service at competitive prices. The business offers a wash, dry and fold service, in-house dry cleaning, ironing, duvet and soft furnishings, work wear cleaning, sports kit and horse rug cleaning, to busy families as well as guest houses, small hotels and restaurants. There is also a popular delivery service offered. The business is operated by our client and 5 loyal and well-trained members of staff, generating a turnover in the region of £155,000 per annum with a gross profit of 95.2%. We feel a new owner could increase turnover by perhaps offering further delivery and collection services. There is potential to offer a linen hire service to restaurants and hotels. Our client has deliberately restricted the business's growth and there is potential to expand into other towns. We are advised that the equipment alone is valued in excess of £100,000 and all equipment is well maintained with regular service schedules. We feel this unique approach to laundry would be ideal for franchising. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire an award winning laundry and dry cleaning business with an enviable reputation and immense scope for future growth. Early discussions, in confidence, with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
