Beautifully Presented Florist For Sale

Please quote reference B07032

CoGoGo are delighted to have been given the opportunity to manage the sale of Petal & Stalk which is a well-established Florist with a renowned reputation amongst local residents. This is a superb opportunity to take on a popular, profitable, destination florist which is well supported by all and has an excellent customer base, both locally and from further afield.

Petal & Stalk was founded by the current owner when she identified the need for an upmarket florist in the area. The business has been a real labour of love and considerable money has been  spent setting up and ensuring that the business is almost certainly one of the nicest in the area .

The business is now being sold, albeit reluctantly and after much soul searching, due to a wish to pursue a change of direction. The vendor is keen to see her beloved florist pass to an ambitious and entrepreneurial new owner(s) who can take this already thriving business to the next level.

This really is a lovely little gem of a shop, full of love and emotion and special in so many peoples’ hearts. Having opened in 2014 as a ‘pop up’ shop, the village has warmly welcomed the shop and all it offers, people love to be part of it, locals drop jam jars in for the owner and staff to refill and sell and sometimes clippings from their gardens to include in the shop displays. Local businesses support the shop too and the business partners with other businesses of all types on a regular basis. The shop can truly be said to be at the heart of the local community and has a brilliant vibe.

The business is busy all year round with birthday, anniversary, thank you, special occasion bouquets, in memoriam and funeral flowers, weddings and events.

The sale will include the company website (petal and stalk.co.uk), Facebook (1569 likes) and Instagram (2807 followers) pages and the business enjoys great visibility on the internet with impressive reviews such as;

“ A lovely shop with very friendly and knowledgeable staff “

“ I can’t rate them highly enough. I needed a floral arrangement for my Grandmother’s funeral, and Abigail proceeded to put her creativity to the work of making the day feel much more fitting. She asked questions about her life, customised the flowers to symbolically reflect aspects of my Grandmothers life, and gave me a lovely detail to add to the eulogy. She loved flowers, so it felt doubly fitting. And to top it off, a quick turnaround. Lots of communication, was far less expensive than I was expecting, and totally pleasant throughout “
