CoGoGo are delighted to present to the market coffee & wine, established by our clients in June 2017 and now offered for sale as the success of the business is taking too much time from their wider business. Sales are already 20% up on the previous accounting year!
The perfectly formed coffee shop and wine retailer has become a community hub due to a combination of feedback-based development and strong local partnerships, which has resulted in both increased sales and the potential for lots more.
The business has built a strong social media presence across Instagram and Facebook, which are helping to drive new customers from further afield. Customers travel from surrounding towns to purchase the speciality coffee, eclectic wines and pastries, all sourced from small independent producers.
The customer base is a mixture of Boxmoor locals, new affluent families moving to the area and those who want the experience of a London coffee shop and wine retailer on their doorsteps.
Our clients recently introduced a new exciting range of baked products from The Bakehouse based locally in Apsley, an artisan independent bakery business producing croissants, cruffins, Danish pastries, brownies, tarts, cakes, savoury delicacies and more! Many of the products are gluten free or vegan, which fits perfectly into the ethos of coffee & wine.
Coffee add-on sales could also be increased through introducing more savoury options. There is high demand for sourdough pizzas in this area and introducing a new pizza oven could potentially add a further 20% to current turnover levels. Introducing cold choices such as summer salads or seasonal confectionery lines would also benefit the business.
Our clients have hosted several wine tasting evenings for groups of up to 12 and have identified a huge gap in the market for people seeking advice and education on wine in the Boxmoor and Hemel Hempstead area. This part of the business could be grown with more regular events to drive wine sales.
There is an alcohol licence for both on and off sales in place for daytimes from Sunday to Thursday, and later evenings until 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays.
Both Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/coffeeandwineboxmoor/) and Facebook https://www.facebook.com/coffeeandwineboxmoor/) social media accounts will be included as part of the sale. These are key communications channels with the local community and supporters further afield.
Full business handover to be offered
