Comes with valuable inventory of modern equipment included & lots of further potential in prime location. Sensibly priced for genuine Ltd Co sale after many successful years trading in same hands with early viewing strongly advised REF 2161

The subject premises occupy an outstanding and highly visible trading position among other complementary independent operators on the busy main central commercial High Street of the vibrant satellite town of Yeadon, which lies with excellent access both to major road links (A65 and A658 etc.) and to the nearby centres of Leeds, Bradford and Shipley, in West Yorkshire.

We are delighted to present this fantastic opportunity to acquire a thriving commercial proposition of uncommon quality and real further potential, which we are confident you will agree represents genuine value.

Operating as “Forget Me Not”, this very well established and highly regarded, discerning shopper’s ‘Aladdin’s Cave’ currently primarily conducts an extremely popular retail operation of a stunning and eclectic range of premium quality gift ideas for all ages and occasions.

The store also stocks an excellent selection of greetings cards, celebration balloons, stationery and associated party ware, all displayed to its very best advantage in two bright, charming and attractively appointed ground and first-floor showroom areas.

Operating as “Image House”, the store also provides fast and professional bespoke photographic printing services of personalised gifts, cards and clothing undertaken in its fully equipped in-store studio and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with considerable scope for continued growth, not least with regard to the possible introduction of Sunday trading in order to fully exploit year-round local and passing trade demand.

The business would also benefit by adopting a more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing products and services, particularly with reference to the possible introduction of online sales through its own dedicated website and to further development of its social media presence, in order to improve upon the already high levels of turnover it has achieved in the course of some eight successful years’ trading in the hands of the current director, with the aid of a small, experienced and motivated team of one full-time and two part-time staff who would be an asset to any purchaser, and we would unreservedly recommend a viewing.
