Location
This established business opportunity is situated close to the Worcestershire / Gloucestershire border. The location is ideal as it is just outside the historic town of Upton-upon-Severn, a popular tourist location with many annual events and also very close to the Three Counties Showground at Malvern. The location is on the main A38 which is one of the oldest and longest road systems in the UK. There are many neighbouring villages and towns and the business is less than 3 miles away from the M5 motorway making visiting and commuting very easy. The garden centre is prominently positioned to attract passing trade.
Business History
Meridian Business Sales are delighted to offer for sale this exceptional freehold garden centre and nursery, which has a proud history dating back to 1940’s when it was a family run soft fruit farm. It has been developed into a full retail garden centre and in the past twenty years has had the addition of a large 3 bedroom residential home. Our clients have interests overseas and this has prompted them to put the business up for sale. The business is run and managed by our clients with the assistance of staff and has achieved a very respectable advised annual turnover of £371,000 which is an increase on the previous period. This business has not yet reached its full potential and the current owners have been adding new ranges of products. The garden centre has a reputation for growing a range of Giant Geraniums and has a loyal customer base that comes from far and wide each year to purchase these plants. The business really does offer something for everyone and is a one stop shop solution for all gardening needs. There is a country store with small holding supplies, animal feed/pet foods and accessories, as well as a huge range of wild bird feed which is an important income stream for any garden centre. The country store has been a stand-alone business in the past and could be again under a licence agreement. There is a large indoor retail area offering a wide selection of gardening tools, furniture, seeds, ornaments, fancy goods and accessories. There is also a very popular café/restaurant offering internal and external covered seating area amongst the flower displays. This popular multi faceted business is very well known and enjoys excellent levels of repeat trade throughout the year. The centre also sees a healthy amount of new trade from good word of mouth recommendations and is seeing clear growth month on month. This is an ideal lifestyle change opportunity for someone who is looking for a very well presented and well structured business with huge growth potential. We feel that this opportunity offers a new owner an excellent base to build upon and we urge early interest in this charming garden centre.
