The florist is surrounded by many residential properties and other complimentary businesses on a shopping parade who all contribute to attract a high footfall of potential customers.

Expansion potential
Whilst our vendor is clearly successful there is, we believe scope to increase both turnover and profits further by approaching the large number of local offices to enquire about the possibility of providing and maintaining potted plants in the reception area etc. Our client has also very recently supplied a number of hampers which included flowers, toys, wines chocolates and ceramics. These sold very quickly and should be encouraged for the future.
