CoGoGo is delighted to welcome to the market this well-established and popular card & gift shop in Kirkham, Lancashire. The business was established in 1985 and has been in our client’s careful ownership since 2011. Only now is the business being offered to the market due to our client’s other business interests. The business operates 6 days per week and generates a turnover in the region of £90,000 per annum, with a gross profit of approximately 60%. Our client offers a wide range of cards and gifts, including christening gifts, wedding gifts, balloons, toys, jigsaws, board games, picture frames and soft toys, to name a few. The property boasts two spacious sales and display areas, to the first and second floors, which are well equipped to suit the trade. 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 the turnover could be increased by extending the opening hours, perhaps by opening on Sunday. A new owner could also expand the range of products available or embark on a modest marketing campaign to promote the business. There is also scope to launch a website, which could incorporate online ordering services. This is an excellent opportunity for a new owner to take this already thriving card & gift shop to the next level; therefore early viewing must come highly recommended to avoid disappointment.
