Hilton Smythe welcomes to the market Sugarcraft Emporium.
This busy sugarcraft and baking supplier was originally founded in 1994 and has been under the sole ownership of our client since 2005 and reluctantly comes to the market due to our client's ill health. Sugarcraft Emporium opens 4.5 days a week as a popular baking supplier and is very well supported by the local community with the benefit of much repeat trade and word of mouth referrals and further boasts a monopoly trading position.
The store supplies a vast array of products including cookery books, cake tins, piping bags, cutters and moulds, ribbons, jewels and a fantastic display of readymade cake top decorations for all types of occasions.
On the second floor of the store is a classroom previously used to teach cake decoration classes, an aspect of the business we feel could easily be reinstated.
In particular as the baking industry has seen a huge revival over recent years with popular television shows such as the Great British Bake Off and Masterchef inspiring more and more people to have a go! We also believe that the business would see a massive increase in revenue if the current website www.sugarcraftemporium.com were to be upgraded to allow customers the option to buy products on-line.
This is a fantastic walk in trading opportunity with the potential to further develop and early viewing comes highly recommended.
The business is solely run and managed by our client.
