THRIVING FISHING TACKLE & BAIT SHOP IN COLCHESTER

Very well established & locally unopposed angling enthusiast's 'Aladdin's Cave' offering extensive market-leading product range from secure & well fitted showroom premises with high volume of year-round regular & passing trade in busy suburban main road position. Comes with brand-new e-commerce website under construction & lots of further potential in excellent commercial location. Sensibly priced for quick genuine sale with VAST inventory of premium quality stock included & viewing highly recommended REF 3016

The subject premises occupy a prominent trading position with little in the way of direct local competition in a good and well populated residential suburb with excellent access to major bus, rail and road links on the outskirts of the prosperous and historic town of Colchester in Essex.

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

This very well established and highly regarded angling enthusiast’s “Aladdin’s Cave” currently primarily conducts an extremely popular sales operation of an extensive selection of premium quality coarse, fly and sea fishing equipment and supplies by numerous market-leading manufacturers.

The store’s products include rods, reels, lines, floats, lures, flies, associated accessories and sundries, with an excellent choice of baits and ground baits also available.

“Colchester Bait & Tackle Ltd” also offers informed advice on all aspects of angling for customers of all ages and abilities and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with ample scope for continued growth, not least with regard to possible investment in staff and to possible expansion into other areas of the highly diverse outdoor sports and leisure supplies and solutions services market.

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 introduction of online advertising and sales through a new dedicated e-commerce website which is currently under construction, and to further development of its social media presence, in order to improve upon the already impressive levels of turnover it has achieved in the course of some twenty-four highly successful years’ trading in the hands of the current sole proprietor, and we would strongly recommend the earliest possible viewing to avoid disappointment.

Well fitted throughout, though in need of a degree of modernisation and upgrading in areas, a fact which is reflected in the very competitive sale price, these substantial leasehold commercial premises provide highly functional internal business accommodation, which briefly comprises an inviting and glazed public entrance directly off the busy main Harwich Road into a bright, welcoming and deceptively spacious, “walk round” retail sales and customer service showroom area with diffused fluorescent strip lighting and durable industrial non-slip flooring throughout for easy cleaning.

The main public area houses a full range of well maintained, fixed and freestanding, purpose-built display racking, shelving and furniture for an extensive and eclectic range of market-leading angling equipment, accessories, associated sundries and baits, in addition to a prominent and fully fitted display point-of-sale counter area with full complement of modern payment facilities.

Further ancillary internal business accommodation consists of a bait preparation room and washing-up kitchen area, together with all the usual washroom/WC facilities and separate doorway access to the rear.

The premises also enjoy the added safety and security benefits of CCTV monitoring and steel roller shutters to the shop front.

Externally:

To the front the premises are well signed and presented and afford ample and inviting display window space onto a busy suburban through road, with unrestricted parking available locally.

The premises also enjoy the use of a large and fully enclosed garden area to the rear with outbuildings consisting of a secure garden store.

*We are further informed that all existing stock at the time of sale is to be included in the sale price (estimated average value circa £30,000) further details of which will be made available upon request to any genuine interested parties.
