CARD, GIFT & BALLOONS BUSINESS FOR SALE

CARD, GIFT & BALLOONS BUSINESS FOR SALE.  “JUST 4 YOU YAXLEY”

JUST 4 YOU YAXLEY.  This fantastically presented independent greeting card, gift and balloons business, which is long established over 30 years. Highly rated within the local community.

The business retails very large choice of quality greeting cards, range of gifts and balloons. The store also offers Yankee candles, All Creation soft toys, keyrings, mugs, exclusive gifts & ornaments, jewelleries, seasonal decorations, photo frames, gift bags & wraps and stationeries.

The turnover averages between £60,000 to £70,000 and very high gross profit in the region of £40,000 to £50,000 (Net profit £25,000 to £30,000 for working owner) trading to the usual high gross profit margins associated with the trade. However, the turnover is higher around the events that you would expect such as Valentine's Day, Mothers' Day, Father’s Day and Christmas.   

There is a massive scope to increase on the current turnover by extending the trading days, times and more stocks which our client couldn’t do as he has another business to run. Also, it can be opened on Sunday and start selling online.  The premises is positioned in a fantastic shopping centre with mixed-use area which has a densely populated surrounding residential community. Zero business rates payable. Viewing recommended. Make profit from day one.

The business has an excellent reputation in their local community for the quality of the products and the service provided over the 30years.
