Would suit an owner operator.
The business was founded in 2021 by a well known local potter and artist and quickly established itself as a go to shop for its range of carefully curated gifts from a range of quality suppliers. The owner has achieved the goal of not being just another gift shop from the outset, with customer feedback such as “this is joy in a shop” and “thank you for transforming our high street” amongst the owner’s favourites.
A rare opportunity to purchase a successful artisan style gift shop retailing a range of pottery, cards, curated gifts, wrapping paper, nightwear and home accessories. The shop has been established for 2 years and has a loyal following in the local community as well as drawing customers in who come in to town from other areas specifically to visit the shop.
The business benefits from several exclusive supplier arrangements allowing the shop to be the unrivalled retailer in the area of a number of high selling lines.
Exclusive artist designed cards, wrapping paper and gift products that are only available to this shop and keep customers coming back for more. The owner is willing to discuss the ongoing supply of popular handmade pottery items and her own giftware ranges.
This business would suit someone who enjoys engaging with the friendly local community and the buzz of delighting customers with beautiful gift options in an attractive and calming environment.
Financials: Average weekly takings of £2,500 increasing in high seasons. The shop benefits from a prominent position in the centre of the high street and enjoys tourist trade in the summer with a famous annual agricultural show and French markets taking place in the town, a booming Christmas sales season and steady year round local trade from a consistently loyal community.
