Business description
Norfolk Business Sales is pleased to offer for sale this business which our client is placing on the market in order to retire.

This thriving hardware, pets and garden centre was originally founded in 1988 and has been run successfully by the vendor since taking over the business in 1998.

They stock a wide range of pet food, both pre-packaged and loose which is weighed and bagged on site, together with hardware products, plants and other gardening requirements. Bottled gas is also available as well as landscaping materials such as paving slabs, sand etc, together with a key cutting service.

Day to day management of the shop is carried out by the vendor but only on a part time basis (2 days/week), with the assistance of two full time workers.

The business benefits from a loyal customer base as well as attracting passing trade, situated as they are on one of the main commuter routes into the City.

We believe that the business is ideally suited to a husband and wife team and is being offered on a freehold or leasehold basis.
