Laundrette And Dry Cleaning Business Established In 1997 For Sale

Business description

Advent Business Sales are pleased to have been instructed to offer to the market this extremely well established laundrette and ironing business.

Established in 1997 and in the hands of the vendor for almost 2 years, it is only now being reluctantly offered for sale due to family breakdown.

The premises are bright and airy with well maintained washers and dryers.

The business offers a full service wash facility and will also iron if required. In addition, they offer dry cleaning, which is carried out locally on an agreed split basis.

The laundrette also benefits from an ongoing contract from a nearby government establishment, which virtually guarantees sales of approximately £100 per week.

A turnover of approximately £800 per week is generated with excellent gross profits.

We are advised that stock at cost is only approximately £100. The equipment includes:
• 2 x 2 stack dryers
• 1 large dryer
• 1 x 16kg washer with high speed spin
• 2 x 7kg washers
• 1 x silc iron and board with auto steamer
• High efficiency gas boiler
• Dryer heat extraction system
• Racking for storage
• Fridge

Whilst the business is successful, the premises could be utilised further by having a key cutting facility, as there is none locally.

They could also take in shoe repairs to be carried out elsewhere.

A delivery and collection service could also prove popular.

A working owner would also save on wages costs.
