SOLD - Field to Home Pet Supplies, Settle, North Yorkshire

PET SUPPLIES SHOP in North Yorkshire

A very well-known and busy pet supplies and garden plant shop, located in the heart of a famous and historic Yorkshire Dales market town. The town enjoys a colossal amount of footfall from locals and tourist visitors all year around, and is a vital source of pet supplies to this rural community, hence why the shop has traded here since 1983. A tremendously well run business, offering a huge range of pet foods and accessories, as well as a thriving trade in garden plants. The shop benefits from preferential purchasing agreements and volume discounts with many of the well-known brands and multi-national suppliers. This enables the business to offer a wide range of products at competitive prices to its loyal customer base. The shop is predominantly staff run at the moment, with a small but loyal team of employees, however more “hands-on” owner operators could certainly generate even more profitability by saving on staffing costs. Financial accounts will be made available to seriously interested parties who have formally viewed the premises and met with the owners. Detailed financial information is available to seriously interested parties following a formal viewing of the premises. Surprisingly deep shop floor extending through to an outside, covered, lean-to garden plant display area at the rear of the property. The open-plan shop is crammed, floor to ceiling with a vast array of goods and products, from feed and animal health products, to pet accessories and gifts. Large store room. Small store room. Utility room with kitchenette. Staff WC. The premises are occupied on a leasehold basis at a very reasonable rent given its outstanding location.
