CoGoGo are delighted to welcome to the market a traditional bridal wear store. Originally established in the 1990’s and taken over by our client in 2012, the business is well known within the area. Our client is now looking to sell the business due to the need to relocate and would like to concentrate on other interests. The current turnover for the business is an advised £76,753 per annum, with a gross profit of 62%. We are advised the turnover is generated from the sale of high quality bridal gowns, bridesmaids dresses, prom dresses and accessories. With bridal dresses supplied from agents such as Romantica, Mark Lesley, Tiffany and also Twilight Designs for prom dresses. The quality of products and service provided at the store is fantastic and this has increased the word of mouth reputation over the years. The store caters for all budgets with dresses from as little as £150 to £1,400 aiming their products to suit all budgets. There are several ways in which the turnover could be increased, some points are as follows- Extend opening hours, by opening Monday, Thursday or/and Sunday. Offer in house alterationsStart an advertising and marketing campaign, as we are advised very little has been done recently.Attend wedding fairs, to promote business.Consider offering a hire service.Expand product range The business has currently been run at a steady pace, due to our client living in Somerset. Our client also cares for a family member and so the distance has just not allowed our client to run the store to its full potential. Already very profitable, but with so much potential to boost revenue and attract more custom. The business comes with a fantastic website, this shows a selected amount of gowns the store has for sale. It is highly advised customers visit the store, with a google maps link on the website to make it easier for customers. The existing staff members will be willing to carry on working at the store for the new owner, if required. This is a fantastic opportunity for a new owner who is looking to start up. This would also benefit as a bolt-on.
The business is run and managed by our client with the help of 3 part time members of staff.
