Location
Adams and Co. are delighted to offer for sale this quality Pet Shop. This attractive business is situated in the centre of Kendal, and occupies an excellent trading position just off the main street in the centre of town close to well known outlets. Kendal is known as the Gateway to the English Lake District and is a popular and bustling South Cumbria market town, located on the boundary of the Lake District National Park. Kendal itself has a resident population of 25,470*, with an estimated catchment area of c250,000. It is a very popular location for tourist shopping and supports a successful commercial mix of major national retailers and specialist individual shops. It is ideally positioned being just 6 miles to the M6 motorway at Junction 36, and approximately 8 miles of Windermere.
The Business
The business offers an extensive range of loose and pre-packed pet food, toys, cages, hutches, pet beds, and accessories, and of course small live animals such as Hamsters, Guinea Pigs and Rabbits. The vendors offer a good selection of marine and cold water fish, which prove highly lucrative and our client believes that further expansion into Marine / Tropical fish would enhance the businesses reputation and bring a substantial increase in sales and profits. The business benefits from a loyal customer base and offers many opportunities for the purchaser with various routes for growth. The business has not yet explored the potential of a website. There is scope to introduce own label food, deliveries to Kendal and the surrounding area, increase opening hours (open on a Sunday) and even introduce a pet grooming service having no direct local competition. Turnover for the last year was c£40k. Financial information will be made available to seriously interested parties following a formal viewing.
