Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer to the market this popular book and music shop, which was established some 23 years ago and has been in our client's hands since 2006. The business achieves a turnover in the region of £30,000 per annum from the sale of specialist, second hand and antiquarian books. The business is currently run at a pace to suit our client offering huge scope to increase turnover further by introducing a web site with e-commerce facilities, developing the music side of the business, especially classical CDs, and to develop a modest marketing campaign as at present there is little in the way of advertising. The business boasts an enviable reputation and is featured in Stuart Maconi's Pies and Prejudice book. This is the only second hand bookshop in the city and at present, our client only uses amazon.co.uk with 2,000 titles. We feel this offers a new owner a superb opportunity to acquire an established lifestyle business with huge scope for the future. Viewing must come highly recommended to fully appreciate this unique opportunity.
