The business offers a range of services normally associated with dry cleaners and is well equipped for purpose including:
- 28lb dry cleaning machine
- Rota cabinet
- Press table
- Industrial washing machine
- Compressor and bagging machine
- Spotting table
In addition to the main services, additional income is brought in from alteration services, again with a high level of equipment including:
- Lock stitch machine
- Overlocker
- Double stitcher
- Blind hemmer
- Darning machine
Key cutting services are also offered with full machinery included for this, plus carpet shampoo machine hire and Polaroid passport photo equipment.
These extra income streams are in addition to the stated sales revenue, which is purely for the main dry cleaning business only.
100% of the business is generated from walk in customers only due to this excellent location and the business also benefits from a high level epos system, providing a customer data base with a currently register of approximately 4000 customers. This enables further marketing directly to the customer data base from this computer system if required.

The surrounding area is an affluent and densely populated residential area with excellent transport links including access to the M1 motorway and into the city of Nottingham.
There are excellent parking facilities with a large free customer car park shared by the retail park.
Expansion potentialAlthough already a successful business, there is excellent potential for growth and expansion including making use of the marketing facilities of the epos system, as this is currently not undertaken.

Within these spacious premises, there is also potential to increase the work area by installing a mezzanine floor.
