Business History
Meridian Business Sales are delighted to offer to the market this well established and equipped aquatic and reptile business that has been in the careful hands of our clients since 1999 and is only now being offered to the market due to our clients desire to take a well earned retirement. Since our client took ownership of the business they have embarked on a full refurbishment program to all areas of the business culminating in a true walk-in and trade business. Our clients have continually improved and updated the business by offering new and existing income streams such as the introduction of reptiles and aquatic plants both of which have proved popular and profitable to the clientele. Our clients inform us that the current turnover is £80,970 pa with a gross margin of 46%. This is derived from the sale of all this aquatic to include tanks, pumps, fish, plants and more recently reptiles. There is an excellent opportunity to incorporate or diversify to general pet supplies, this would mean the business would be the sole independant pet suppliers in the town centre with its own car parking. The business enjoys a strong local reputation and as such has high levels of loyalty and repeat trade. Meridian Business Sales recommends early viewing to fully appreciate the quality and growth potential of this business.
This well established aquatic business is located in a city centre position in a well presented courtyard surrounded by a wealth of complimentory businesses that bring all year round footfall to the area. Doncaster is a large town in South Yorkshire and the principal settlement of the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster. The town is located about 20 miles (32 km) from Sheffield and is popularly referred to as "Donny".
Doncaster shares an international airport with Sheffield, and in recent years its centre has undergone regeneration including the development of an Education City Campus, currently the largest education investment of its kind in the UK. Doncaster has also recently extended the Frenchgate Centre, a shopping centre and transport interchange. The city has strong road and rail links via mainline station and the A1 and M18 motorways.
