The subject premises occupy an outstanding and highly visible corner trading position among numerous other complementary independent operators, including High Street household names, in a modern, purpose-built and pedestrianised Shopping Mall development situated in the busy heart of the vibrant and prosperous riverside town of Ashford, which lies with excellent access to major road and motorway links (A20, A28, A2070 and M20 junction 9 etc.) on the southern fringes of the North Downs area of Kent.

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

This very well established salon is currently primarily equipped to the highest industry specifications to undertake a virtually ‘one stop’ range of professional and highly creative, classic and contemporary Afro-Caribbean and European hair design, styling, colouring and extensions services exclusively for ladies of all ages.

“Blossom” also conducts a highly complementary sales operation of an exclusive range of market-leading haircare products, wigs, extensions and associated accessories and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with considerable scope for continued growth, not least with regard to possible expansion into other areas of the highly diverse hair and beauty services and retail market, to perhaps include manicures and tanning etc., possible investment in additional employed or self-employed staff and to the possible introduction of Sunday trading in order to exploit the full potential capacity of its facilities.

The business would also benefit by adopting a more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing services, particularly with reference to further development of its web and social media presence, in order to improve upon the already high levels of turnover it has achieved since being established in its present form some ten successful years ago by the current proprietor, with the aid only of a small, experienced and motivated team of two part-time staff who would be an asset to any purchaser, and we would unreservedly recommend a viewing.

Fitted to superb contemporary industry specifications throughout, these modern and extremely well maintained leasehold arcade premises provide outstanding and highly functional internal business accommodation, which briefly comprises a broad, inviting and glazed public entrance with disabled access directly off the main shopping centre concourse.

The main entrance leads into a bright, welcoming and deceptively spacious, open-plan ladies hair salon with feature polished timber flooring throughout for easy cleaning, comfortable seating for waiting customers, a fully fitted service counter with telephone and full complement of modern payment facilities and high quality, purpose-built displays for a wide selection of market-leading haircare products, wigs, extensions and associated accessories.

The main salon area currently comfortably accommodates 3 x fully equipped styling stations with full-length designer mirrors, hair drying facilities and access through to a rear shampoo salon area housing 1 x fully equipped backwash station.

Further ancillary internal business accommodation consists of a small, fully fitted and equipped kitchen/utility room, together with all the usual washroom/WC facilities for customers and staff.

The premises also enjoy the benefit of electric heating, together with all the additional benefits of their excellent communal location, including full security.

Externally:

To the exterior the premises are prominently signed and attractively presented and afford extensive and inviting display window space onto a high footfall and partially covered pedestrianised town centre Shopping Mall, with customer parking available in a number of nearby local public car parks.

The business is well fitted throughout and a valuable inventory of equipment is to be included in the sale price
