Business Description
We are delighted to present this fantastic opportunity to acquire a thriving commercial proposition of uncommon size, quality and further potential, which we are confident you will agree represents exceptional value.
Operating from substantial and impressive, converted former church premises on Aberlour High Street, this very well established curio hunters “Aladdin’s Cave” currently primarily conducts a popular sales operation of a stunning and eclectic range of antique, vintage and retro goods at affordable prices.
The premises include antique and vintage home furnishings, objets d’ art, interior design accessories, artworks, prints, antiquarian books, collectables and general “bric-a-brac”, all displayed to its very best advantage in a spacious, welcoming and attractively appointed, split-level showroom area, with house clearances also undertaken.
“The Old Curiosity Shop” also conducts its retail operations from its two, equally well fitted sister leasehold premises, both on the High Street, and on nearby New Street, and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with considerable scope for continued growth, not least with regard to operating hugely extended hours in order to fully exploit year-round local and passing trade demand.
The business would also benefit greatly by adopting a far more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing products and services, particularly with reference to the possible introduction of online advertising and sales and to further development of its social media presence, in order to improve upon the already high levels of turnover it has achieved since being established in its present form in 2012 by the current proprietor, with the aid only of a small team of two experienced and motivated staff who would be an asset to any purchaser, and we would strongly recommend the earliest possible viewing to avoid disappointment.
