City Business Brokers are delighted to bring to the market this well-established Bridal Boutique which enjoys all the considerable commercial advantages of a fantastic high profile trading position within a superb location. Situated on a very busy road with lots of organic exposure. It’s rare to find a property of such size and scale for such reasonable annual rent. The stock is all current.
Other highlights to note:
• Only bridal shop in the area
• Good location – situated on a main road with many well established businesses nearby – high footfall and closely accessible to various public transport links plus the added benefit ample parking for customers
• Stellar reputation with designer labels / brands that are exclusively available to the boutique with watertight exclusivity agreements
The business was established over 14 years ago and has been in the careful ownership of our client ever since, and now only comes onto the market due to our client’s change of circumstances and relocation due to health.
Operating from a substantial, secure, and extremely well-fitted, two storey premises, the business currently primarily conducts a popular retail operation of an extensive selection of bridal gowns, prom dresses and associated accessories all displayed to its very best advantage in a bright, spacious, and well-appointed showroom area. The business has been finished to a high standard, with beautiful luxurious marble flooring and spotlight ceilings throughout.
The business prides itself on offering a VIP experience to its customers and has an extensive selection of wedding dresses from top International and UK designers, as well as Prom and occasion-wear (all sought after labels that are hard to secure). From a reputational standpoint, the business is exemplary – customer reviews on all channels are 5* and the entire team are consistently recognised for their stellar service, which particularly in this industry is a huge benefit as it is heavily driven by word of mouth. The reputation of this business is incredible.
It is important to note the business has now started an alterations service which has added value with customer service as well as a good profit stream. The business is completely scalable and has not been operating to its full potential due to clients circumstances.

It is important to note the owner heavily depends on staff due to her recent illness, hence the reason for sale. The owner only works approx. 15 hours per week, if this business was solely owner run and according to the owner the business will pay up to £3000 a month wage/profit.
Note: This is a perfect ‘first business’ opportunity, with a low-cost base. It can be owner-run with a Saturday part-timer due to the intimate style of selling (clients are seen 1:1 and because of this conversion is significantly higher) A full profile is available once a non-disclosure agreement has been signed.
