CoGoGo is delighted to welcome to the market this well-established and busy launderette business, which is ideally located in the town of Lydney, Gloucestershire. The business was established in the 1950`s and has been in our client`s careful ownership for approximately 30 years. Only now is the business being offered to the market due to our client`s desire for a well-deserved retirement. The business operates 5½ days per week and generates a turnover in the region of £67,000 per annum, with a gross profit of approximately 90%. Our client offers a variety of laundry services including washing, drying and ironing services, as well as a collection and delivery service for sports clubs, hotels, guest houses etc. The business operates large washing machines and offers duvet cleaning and drying. The business has an excellent reputation within the area for the high quality services offered, which has resulted in a very loyal client base, with a vast amount of repeat trade and word of mouth referrals. The property benefits from a two bedroom flat to the first floor, which is currently rented out, generating further income of £410 per calendar month. We feel there is scope to increase the turnover by extending the opening hours of the business, perhaps by opening all day on Thursdays and Sundays. There is also scope to introduce dry cleaning services, new equipment for this service will need to be installed. A new owner could embark on a modest marketing campaign to promote the business further, as well as introducing a website to advertise the business. This is an excellent opportunity for a new owner to take this thriving business to the next level; therefore early viewing must come highly recommended.
