CoGoGo is delighted to welcome to the market this well-established and busy Hardware store in Gorleston-on-Sea, Norfolk. The business was established in the 1960s and has been in our clients’ careful ownership since 2001. Only now is the business being offered to the market due to our clients’ desire for a well-deserved retirement. The business operates 6 days per week and generates a turnover in the region of £106,000 per annum, with a gross profit of approximately 40%. Known locally as ‘Aladdin’s Cave’, our clients offer a wide range of goods including garden tools, plants, seeds, feeds and chemicals. Pet food, treats and medicines. Small electrical goods, decorating materials, houseware and building materials, tools and timber, to name a few. Our client is also a dry cleaning agent. The business has built up an excellent 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 referrals. We feel the turnover could be increased by embarking on a modest marketing campaign to highlight the business and the services offered. A new owner could also launch a website to promote the goods offered. Our clients are open to offering a handover period to any new owner. This is an excellent opportunity for a new owner to take this already thriving and profitable business to the next level; therefore early viewing must come highly recommended to avoid disappointment.
