CoGoGo is delighted to present to the market Mercia Golf, a highly renowned Golfing glove and Accessories business established in 2011.
The ‘Run from Home’ business opportunity is now being offered for sale due to the decision of our clients to now retire.
The easily transferable business model will come with a full business handover to ensure the smooth transition.
Mercia Golf was established on the back of our clients' love for the game, who have played for over 50 years. They later opened a shop in the 1980s when there were very few high street golfing businesses. After the shop closed, they decided to move the supply of golfing gloves and range of accessories online. https://www.merciagolf.com
The business currently offers the following range of –
- Men’s gloves
- Ladies gloves
