INDEPENDENT PET STORE in East Yorkshire for Sale.
Established back in 1998 and being offered on the market for the very first time, this outstanding pet store is highly regarded and is only being sold because the owners now wish to retire. This is probably the most comprehensively equipped and stocked pet store in the north of England and its success is largely due to its extensive stock of everything animal, bird, fish and reptile related. An impressive feed barn, which was added just a few short years ago, stocks a huge range of foods for pets, farm animals and large animals. The store carries a huge choice of treats, accessories and healthcare items. This is a one-stop shop for all your needs, offering a range of goods from a dog chew to elaborate designer fish tanks, bird cages and vivarium’s, plus live animals ranging from a tree frog to a bearded dragon. The store also produces its own brand of dog foods, catering for every breed, from a Chihuahua to a Great Dane. Not only does the business provide a vital service to the many surrounding towns, villages and farms in the region, but its close proximity to major roads and links to the motorway system makes it an interesting destination place for families to visit and see the many types of live animals on show. Detailed Profit and Loss Accounts for the business show very steady year on year annual sales turnover of circa £575,000. Full accounts will be made available to seriously interested parties following a formal viewing of the business and premises. The business has an eBay shop, as well as via its own website. This is an area that has huge scope for development by enterprising and ambitious new owners. To date, the business has attracted 57,000 individual sales on eBay.
