CoGoGo is delighted to introduce to the market Babygear. This popular and delightful shop is well respected by mums and dads and is Bridport's premier supplier operating from this charming prominent premise.
Founded by our client nearly thirty years ago, the business has an excellent reputation and is very well supported by the local community. Babygear is very well stocked with a comprehensive range of quality products with nationally recognised brands including Mamas and Papas, Bugaboo, Chicco, icandy, Mountain Buggy, Maxi-Cosi, Maclaren and Silvercross.
The range of stock is extensive including over 50 prams, 40 car seats, cots, bedding, safety equipment, bathing products, furniture sets, carriers, and toys and much much more. Everything required for modern day baby and toddler care. The stock value varies from between £40,000 to £70,000.
Babygear's excellent reputation is built upon the professional friendly service offered by our client and team with additional touches such as full product demonstrations, free car seat fitting, product hire service, and a full service and repair service on products bought in store. It is the dedication that has clearly contributed to the success and longevity of this profitable business.
The business has a user friendly website www.babygearbridport.co.uk with full product descriptions. We feel the business has the potential to further turnover by developing the website to include e-commerce sales.
Early viewing of this outstanding business is highly recommended with the business genuinely coming to the market as our client looks towards a well-deserved retirement.
