Local Commercial Ltd is honoured to offer for sale this fantastic and successful sweet shop. The business is situated in the vibrant town of Blackpool, within a residential area, with regular repeat and passing trade. Due to its much sought after location the business gains consistent levels of turnover and profitability each year. In the hands of the current proprietors for the past 17 successful years, this business is well established within the local community and now enjoys the benefits of a loyal local customer base. Profits have been improved upon however there is huge scope for increase. The shop is fitted to an exceptional standard throughout, with the front recently refurbished. This is a genuine sale, due to retirement, and is reasonably priced for a quick and efficient sale.
The business comprises of two sections; one consists of the sale of a variety of sweets and products associated with a traditional sweet shop of this nature, with over 300 selections in jars on offer at anyone time. This proves extremely successful within the local community, and with a nearby local school is very busy especially at peak times. The sweet shop currently gains approximately 65% of the turnover the business is now enjoying. The second sub division of the shop is the DVD/Games rental section, which is believed to again be very popular, especially over the weekends. This section is believed to make up the additional 35% of the business profits.
This charming and classic sweet shop incorporates traditional sweets along with the modern complimentary DVD/Games side to the business. It is among other complimentary shops and restaurants, and has a high footfall and vast amounts of passing trade. The business has a great deal of scope for improvement of levels of turnover in regards to staffing; the current proprietors rarely work within the shop and therefore there are higher volumes of additional staff, therefore wages could be saved with a more proactive approach to the running of the shop. The business would also no doubt benefit from a marketing campaign to show the vast amounts of products it currently has to offer, this could be done via means of a website, as well as a leaflet drop campaign to surrounding areas. One factor that could also be considered is the introduction of products such as cigarettes and alcohol, subject to permission granted; this would no doubt increase the potential for the shop to increase on the existing levels of profit it has achieved.
