Popular Bridal Boutique in Blakedown, West Midlands For Sale

Hilton Smythe is delighted to welcome to the market this well established and very popular bridal boutique in the quaint village of Blakedown, near Kidderminster, West Midlands. The business was established by our client in 2012 and is only now being offered to the market due to our client’s desire for a change of direction. The business currently operates 5 days per week and according to the 2016 accounts it generates a turnover in the region of £118.323 per annum, with a good gross profit. The business is an exclusive and elegant bridal shop, which specialises in designer dresses and accessories. Our client is a preferred stockist for award winning UK and international bridal wear designers Charlotte Balbier, Stella York, Stephanie Allin, Benjamin Roberts and Lillian West. The property is beautifully presented and maintained to a very high standard with a large bridal display area and a generous sized changing room. There is also a second changing room in the back of the boutique, this assembles by closing blinds on a door and window and pulling across a curtain, this then offers our client to take two appointments at any one time. The business has built up an excellent reputation for the outstanding levels and customer service, which has resulted in a very loyal client base with a lot of word of mouth recommendations. We feel there is scope to increase the turnover by extending the opening hours, perhaps by opening the business on Mondays. A new owner could also embark on a modest marketing campaign to promote the excellent goods and services offered, as well as employing a full time seamstress and promote alteration services. There is also scope to attend wedding fairs to extol the designer dresses and accessories. This is an excellent opportunity for a new owner to take this already thriving and popular business to the next level; therefore early viewing must come highly recommended to avoid disappointment.

The business is owner run and managed with 1 x full time staff member.
