CoGoGo is delighted to welcome to the market this popular and busy pet and aquatic supplies business in Walton-le-Dale, Lancashire. The business was established by our client in 2005 and is only now, reluctantly, being offered to the market due to our client’s other business commitments. The business operates 7 days per week and generates a very healthy turnover in the region of £100,000 per annum, with a gross profit of approximately 40%. Our client offers a wide variety of pet foods and accessories including animal bedding, aquarium fish products, aviary products, cat & dog produce, foods and treats, equestrian goods, pet litters and small pet products, to name a few. Our client offers supplies for all different pets and stocks as much produce as possible with products from major suppliers such as Mayfield, Pet Brand, Pennine, Super Pet, Living World and many more. The property is very well maintained and has been fitted out to suit the trade, with large sales and display areas. The business has built up an enviable reputation within the area for the high quality of the goods and services offered, which has resulted in a very loyal client base, with a high volume of repeat trade and word of mouth recommendations. We feel there is great potential to increase the turnover, as the business is currently run at a pace to suit our client, due to other business commitments. A new owner could also embark on a modest marketing campaign to highlight the excellent goods and services offered. This is an excellent opportunity for a new owner to take this already thriving business to the next level; therefore early discussions with CoGoGo must come highly recommended to avoid disappointment.
