CoGoGo welcomes to the market an exciting opportunity to acquire, on a Leasehold basis, an exceptionally well run and performing café/takeaway with a separate dog boutique business located next door.
The Long Dog Café & Long Dog Boutique have been under the careful and meticulous ownership of our clients for 6 & 4 years respectively and who have grown the business year on year to an impressive level with turnover and profit levels growing steadily.
The businesses have built up an enviable reputation not just locally but also further afield, a true testament to the calibre of business on offer. The business is now being offered for sale as it’s our clients desire to focus on other commitments.
The cafe has gone from strength to strength over the years, situated in Aberdeen’s West End close by to a popular primary school & is well supported within the local community. The majority of the customers are local, but they see many travelling from quite far to enjoy their famous Freakshakes and Brunch on offer.
The dog friendly aspect allows people to enjoy both parts of the business, shopping for their dog which could include a new harness, jacket or essential dog food as well as enjoying some lunch.
The cafe has just undergone a transformation to make it Covid safe and allows up to 18 covers sitting in. The café side further benefits from 2 Deliveroo sites that are operated from the business, allowing maximum exposure on the Deliveroo platform.
The Boutique has seen an increase in sales of over 35% compared to the last quarter in 2019, this has come from the Boutique becoming an established one stop shop for dog owners with more people getting puppies during lockdown. The Boutique has seen this increase even after reducing the opening days to 5 days a week compared to 7 last year. The e-commerce site is growing and is adding between 5% and 10% of sales with the potential for more. www.thelongdogboutique.uk
