Business History
Meridian Business Sales takes great delight in offering for sale this highly profitable shoe shop which has been established since 1840 and under the careful ownership of our clients for the past 30 years who are only the third owners since it was opened. The business is now being placed on the market due to pending retirement. During their long tenure our clients have worked extremely hard in developing the business and have established a loyal customer base from the local community, as well as attracting customers from outside the immediate area. The business benefits from a monopoly trading position within the town as the previous 2 shoe shops have now closed and whilst our clients run the business at a pace that suits there is tremendous potential for a new purchaser to take advantage of this trading situation. Our client offers a wide range of shoes including Rieker & Padders and specialises in the 'Hotter' ranges which are recommended through Chiropodists. An ideal opportunity we feel for any purchaser looking for a well established and highly profitable business within this market sector coupled with superb 4 bed family accommodation in one of Britain's most beautiful locations offering a true change of lifestyle opportunity. Viewing is highly recommended and internal inspection a must to fully appreciate the quality of this concern.
