Business:
This business has been serving this community for many years and has been operating from Clayton Street for well over 30 years. Sonia’s has now been reluctantly placed on the market as our client wishes to retire. Located close to the main centre, the business operates from a spacious single storey unit which offers ample wall and floor space to display the extensive lines sold. There is a storeroom to the rear and an additional off site storage facility which is rented.
The business trades as a traditional DIY, hardware and fancy goods supplier with an extremely broad range of lines sold. Items available range from batteries to balloons and from curtain hooks to greetings cards and if the shop doesn’t have the item in stock, the owners and staff will strive to order it in as quickly as possible. Customers travel from quite far afield for certain items which are hard to source elsewhere.
There is free car parking directly outside the property and to the rear there is a public car park. to the upper floors there is a 2 bedroom flat with separate access generating £412 pcm.
This is an established trading opportunity with scope to grow and develop the lines sold and ideal for a suitably qualified and motivated owner operator.
