Location
The premises form part of an end terrace of houses at the junction of Wood Terrace with Ellison Road. The shop is in a prominent position and there are good levels of both passing and captive trade.
The location is less than 2 minutes from the A1 and the immediate area is a mix of residential and commercial property with ample street parking nearby.
Business
This is a very long-established cards and gifts shop which has been trading from this site since 2004. With such an established trading history, this business has built up a strong reputation with high levels of repeat custom from both locals and customers travelling from outside the area.
In addition to the traditional cards and gifts the shop also retails a vast range of balloons and has built up a reputation within the region for the supply of both individual items and full room party packages.
The shop has an ecommerce online ordering facility and customers can order products for collection that include the balloons inflated and ready to install.
This could be an ideal business opportunity for either an owner operator to run or to be acquired by another existing trader to add to their chain.
