This is a rare investment opportunity to purchase a long-established and multi-award-winning florist business.
Established in February 2000, this business has been consistently recognised as one of the very best in the floristry industry with multiple awards.
The team runs a retail florist shop, specialising in wedding and event work.
Strong connections with local funeral directors result in daily funeral tributes.
Situated in the beautiful Perthshire town of Blairgowrie, which is strategically placed for weddings and events throughout Scotland.
Their core wedding client area covers Perth and Kinross, Angus and Tayside, Fife, and the Central Belt, with word of mouth leading to much further afield... the furthest being Sri Lanka!
A strong connection with the local community has been built over the last 26 years, resulting in strong passing trade for occasion bouquets, plants and gifts.
An own-branded van delivers flowers daily, Monday to Saturday in a 16-mile radius of Blairgowrie.
Christmas is a busy time for the team, with hotel styling, Christmas decorations and private house dressing creating a profitable revenue.
With a large stock of props available, the business is able to create and style any theme and react to the changing trends from season to season.
This business has a reputation as the best in the business.
When it comes to wedding work and venue styling, they have close connections with all the top wedding venues throughout Perthshire and the whole of Central Scotland.
This opportunity offers the chance to take the reins, with as much input from the existing owners (who are highly regarded in the florist industry) as you wish.
As the town of Blairgowrie grows, the retail side of the business continues to grow.
There are opportunities to embrace and add to the IT resources and systems currently in place. A strong social media presence has been built, with almost 5000 loyal followers on Facebook and a 5-star Google rating.
Developing close relationships with event teams and management at venues is a strong business strategy and there are more opportunities to connect with the abundance of new venues currently being established in the Blairgowrie area.
The shop is located in a visually prominent position in the main thoroughfare of Blairgowrie and benefits from two floors, for an extensive florist shop experience.
The ground floor consists of a spacious, recently decorated main sales area with a kitchen/prep area to the rear. The upper floor is accessed by the internal staircase where there is approximately 840 square feet, including storage space, a W/C, and a kitchen area.
The upper floor is large enough to incorporate a seated consultation area, or even convert back to its original use as accommodation. There is a further outside space with a shed and a communal close.
Annual turnover of around £290,000 pa with a projected potential turnover of more than double with a new energetic generation at the helm.
Location:
Blairgowrie is the biggest town in Perth and Kinross after Perth itself, but with a population of over 10,000 it retains its community spirit and a friendly atmosphere.
One of the most beautiful parts of the UK, Blairgowrie sits to the south of the Cairngorms National Park and is on the edge of Scotland’s biggest Ski Resort of Glenshee.

Reason for Sale:
This opportunity arises due to the owner’s desire to spend more time with their grandchildren and ease into retirement, but they have said that they are willing to help the new owners make a smooth transition into the most fantastic "Blairgowrie way of life", with introductions to the business community, venue contacts and the benefit of their experience if required and for as long as they can be of assistance.
