Comes with valuable inventory of high-end equipment included & HUGE scope for extended hours & mobile services etc in ideal location. Sensibly priced for quick genuine sale after many successful years trading in same hands with viewing highly recommended REF 2209

The subject premises occupy an outstanding trading position with little in the way of direct local competition in a prosperous and well populated residential area situated on the outskirts of the vibrant seaside town and resort of Southport, which lies with excellent access to major tourist routes (A565 and A570 etc.) on Lancashire’s delightful and ever-popular Irish Sea coast.

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

This very well established and highly regarded salon is currently primarily equipped to high industry specifications to undertake a virtually ‘one stop’ range of bespoke, professional and fully insured grooming, clipping and styling services for all canine breeds, with pad and nail trimming, eye cleaning and “puppy packages” also available.

“Glad Wags Spa & Boutique” also conducts a highly complementary retail operation of a wide selection of toys, accessories, healthcare products and an excellent choice of canine fashion clothing by such market-leading manufactures as “Petlondon” and “Prince & Princess Petwear”, all displayed to its best advantage in a bright, spacious and welcoming showroom area.

The salon provides its services for a long-standing and still-expanding repeat and referral client base of dog lovers drawn from throughout a wide surrounding catchment area and operates from premises of a size which would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with ample scope for continued growth, not least with regard to possible expansion into the provision of grooming and retail services for other pets, the possible provision of local mobile grooming services, particularly for elderly customers in outlying areas, and to operating considerably extended hours in order to exploit all the full potential technical and sales capacity of its facilities.

The business would also benefit by adopting a more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing products and services, both through its own informative 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 since being established in its present form in 2012 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 high contemporary industry specifications throughout, these substantial and well maintained leasehold terraced parade premises provide outstanding and highly functional internal business accommodation, which briefly comprises an inviting and glazed, single-fronted public entrance directly of Sussex Road into the main, bright, welcoming and deceptively spacious client reception and service showroom area with suspended ceiling, diffused fluorescent lighting, seating for waiting customers, and a full range of high quality display rails and furniture for a wide selection of market-leading canine clothing, toys, accessories and healthcare products and a prominent and fully fitted point-of-sale counter area with telephone and full complement of payment facilities.

The main public area, in turn, affords easy open access through to the main, bright and spacious grooming salon and spa with built-in storage units, modern dog bath, separate shower and drying facilities and 2 x state-of-the-art adjustable grooming tables with full complement of clippers etc., all of which we understand is to be included in the sale price and further details of which will be made available upon request to any genuine interested parties.

Extending to approximately 700 internal square feet in total, the premises also incorporate a good-sized dog holding and play area, with further ancillary accommodation consisting of a small shop kitchen together with access to all the usual washroom/WC facilities.

The premises also enjoy the benefit of gas central heating, in addition to the added security benefit of a full alarm system.

Externally:

Occupying an outstanding trading position with little in the way of direct local competition on a high footfall suburban thoroughfare, to the exterior the premises are well signed and attractively presented and afford extensive and inviting display window space onto a good-sized forecourt area providing private unrestricted off-road parking facilities for approximately three vehicles, with additional communal parking available locally.
