West Midlands Laundrette And Dry Cleaners Established 1979 For Sale

Business description

Advent Business Sales are pleased to offer to the market this extremely well established laundrette, which has been trading successfully for the past 30 years.

The owner is reluctantly selling due to retirement plans.

The customer base is local and up to a 5 mile radius. The business has set itself up to major in service washes as well as in pressing. Pressing is also offered to its clients as a separate service and appears to be booming.

The business also offers dry cleaning and finishing. At the moment the dry cleaning machine is located at a second shop but the owner informs us that this could be moved at a cost of £400 - £500 to this site and has shown us the position it could occupy. The dry cleaning equipment is included in the price.

The business is an ideal stand alone business and does earn the owner a good living and is affordable. Alternatively, it would be an ideal self contained unit for any small chain of laundrettes looking to expand into other areas.
