Please quote reference B09762CoGoGo is delighted to bring to the market an attractive florist and gifting business serving Preston and the surrounding area. Now is the perfect time to take over, giving a new owner plenty of time to settle in, build supplier relationships and prepare stock ahead of the busiest periods in the floristry calendar, including Christmas, Valentine's Day and Mother's Day. The Bloom Box is a fully fitted florist and gifting business located on Fishergate in Preston city centre. The business has been professionally set up and is being sold as a turnkey opportunity, allowing a new owner to take over an established premises without the cost, time and work involved in starting a florist from scratch.
The business benefits from an established online presence and operates within the resilient flowers and gifting sector, offering scope to generate sales across birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, sympathy occasions, seasonal celebrations and everyday gifting. Its website provides an additional platform through which customers can discover the brand and its offering. The business offers fresh flower bouquets, preserved flower arrangements, funeral flowers, wedding and event floristry, balloons, personalised gifting and seasonal products.
The sale includes a substantial amount of fixtures, fittings, equipment and stock, including professional shelving and storage, florist work areas, display furniture, stock, preserved roses and dried flowers, gifting products, teddies, pots and containers, ribbons, balloons, backdrops, Cricut equipment, payment equipment and other florist supplies. The premises have also had significant investment into the fit-out, including flooring, signage, shelving and the overall shop presentation.
The business has built an established social media presence, including an Instagram account approaching 10,000 followers, alongside other social media channels. This provides an incoming owner with an existing audience and brand presence rather than having to build one from zero. The business is also currently set up with Interflora. Subject to Interflora's approval of a change of ownership/transfer, there may be an opportunity for the new owner to continue this relationship.
This represents an appealing opportunity for a florist, creative entrepreneur or existing operator seeking to expand within the sector. The business is being sold due to personal circumstances and other commitments, rather than because the owner wishes to continue operating it long term. There is significant scope for a new owner who has the time to focus fully on the business, particularly through increasing opening hours, developing wedding and funeral work, expanding local business relationships, growing online sales, increasing social media activity, taking on corporate accounts, subscriptions, local partnerships and enhanced online marketing. Early viewing is highly recommended.
