Well-Established School Uniform Retailer In Torquay For Sale

Torquay, Devon, UK
Asking Price:
£60,000 Furniture / Fixtures included
Turnover:
Undisclosed
Net Profit:
Undisclosed

Long-established school uniform retailer supplying over 6,000 students across South Devon, operating from spacious three-storey premises in a central Torquay location.

This business has been successfully owner-operated for many years and is now available due to retirement. With a loyal customer base and supply contracts across numerous schools, the business continues to grow in strength. Recent regulatory changes under the ‘School Uniform Act’ have opened additional opportunities, with more schools being approached to increase market reach.

The premises include two retail areas with changing rooms, eight large storage rooms, office space, kitchen, staff facilities and fully equipped embroidery and printing rooms. All trade fixtures and fittings are included in the sale, and a full handover will be provided to ensure a smooth transition.

Located on Union Road in central Torquay, the shop benefits from excellent visibility, with both free and pay-and-display parking nearby. The property is within walking distance of the train and bus stations, and enjoys easy access to main road links.

There is also clear potential to expand the embroidery and hot press transfer services into workwear and corporate uniforms. Early viewing is highly recommended.
