CoGoGo welcomes to the market R & L Burgess a family run business established in 1966 and owned by our clients, who are now looking to retire, since 1980.
The store is a general hardware store, which has a little more than you would expect as they also sell the following lines:
� General DIY
� Key Cutting
� Tools
� Painting equipment and paints
� Gardening equipment
� Kitchen equipment
� General cleaning products
� Electrical
� Main agent for Flo gas
� Pet foods
� Pet goods
� Plants
� Greeting cards and balloons
� Wool
There is a large local customer base with many repeat customers known by name. Due to its location, on a main local shopping parade in a highly populated residential area there is a high footfall throughout the day. The business has 5* reviews on Google and 192.com
R & L Burgess is a profitable business, however, there is room for further development.
� Open Wednesday afternoons or Sundays
� Add more key cutting equipment, as this brings in the highest profit line
� Create a website
� Operate on social media page
CoGoGo highly advise early viewing to avoid disappointment.
R & L Burgess Hardware is a hardware store which has been in our client�s ownership since 1980 and a hardware store since the premises was built in 1966, which is located in a local parade of shops in the middle of a large residential area in Luton, Bedfordshire.
The parade of 15 shops includes a post office, Tesco local, pharmacy amongst others. There is free parking up to 2 hours in a large car park directly outside the premises. Next to the car park is a bus terminal and bottle bank, all bringing in a large amount of footfall to the area.
There is a large car park to the front of the shop and a large pavement with an overhang form the flat above, which gives a covered area for the display of goods outside.
The double fronted shop has many aisles of shelving etc displaying a large range of goods.
The service counter is set half way through the shop to the right, behind which are 5 key cutting machines, key display hooks and the till.
To the rear of the shop is a door which leads to a small store room which in turn leads to the kitchen/toilet and another door leads out to the main storage area.
A large covered storage area, formally the courtyard, with plenty of racking and storage. From here is a door to the outside compound for Flo gas storage. There is further racking here and a door to the outside.
