The business occupies an attractive double fronted premise and provides a wide range of fancy dress costumes with the current stock of costumes being approximately 1300 plus a range of party goods, balloons and gas and is ideally located due to the high volumes of passing traffic and the high student population in the surrounding area.

The business is currently advertised in the Yellow pages and on Yell.com and there is a website which has a very high hit rate, as it is designed with key words for high visibility on search engines such as Yahoo and Google.

There is minimal local competition.
