Description

This long-established book shop (2010) is situated in the County Town of Chichester. The shop, with its coveted Blue Plaque, shares a little of the history of this beautiful Cathedral City. Occupying a valuable trading position close to the heart of the city, the shop is on the main route into the city centre from both the train and bus stations, and as such attracts a high volume of passing footfall.

The premises extend over three floors with approximately 800 sq feet of retail / display areas which is well organised into various sections together with a permitted pavement area for the display of book / greeting card stands.

The shop offers a wide range of new and second-hand titles covering a broad range of interests and age groups. This range of choice makes the shop equally popular with local residents, visitors to the city, and the city’s university students alike. In addition to book sales, the business also enjoys a significant trade in the sale of contemporary greetings cards and wrapping paper.

There is considerable scope to further expand this already successful business by the provision of an online sale presence.

Since opening the shop in 2010, the owner has built an enviable reputation amongst both the public and the trade. Online ratings and reviews reflect this reputation.
