The Business
Local Commercial Ltd is honoured to offer this fantastic business opportunity for sale. The Dragons Den is a well established business, in the hands of the current proprietors for the past 7 years. It has the advantage of its excellent trading positions, with the showroom in the seaside resort of Blackpool, and the warehouse based in Lytham St Anne’s on Lancashire popular and tourist Fylde coast. The business has the advantage of fantastic major road and motorway links, and has an impressive turnover of approximately £500,000
At present operating from its substantial showroom premises situated on the famous tourist resort of Blackpool, the business operates primarily as a local retail business, catering for both hen and stag nights visiting the resort of Blackpool. It also gains a substantial amount of its turnover from its nationwide online sales. It caters for a full selection of fancy dress occasions, including Halloween outfits, Hen and Stag party wear, Christmas selections, as well as carnival masks. It also offers a wide selection of complimentary costume jewellery, bags, accessories and party novelty wear. As well as the showroom, The Dragons Den also has a large manufacturing warehouse, based in the nearby resort of Lytham St Annes. Again these premises are well fitted throughout and maintained to a high standard and deal with the manufacture and supply of tailored made costumes.
This fantastic business proposal would naturally suit any enthusiastic buyer, with huge scope to increase the already impressive levels of turnover the business is generating. It could expand in regards to extending the showroom hours in order to exploit the full year round trade. The business would also benefit in regards to a more vigorous marketing package in order to fully advertise its existing products and services it has to offer. It currently has an impressive website, in which products are displayed and national sales are generated; this again could be improved upon as could the advertisement for the website. It is currently run at present by a husband and wife partnership, with the help of a small and motivated team of five full time assistants, whose experience would be an asset to any potential purchaser
Alternatively, this versatile business would be of interest to any similar sized or larger enterprise within the same field, looking to significantly expand on their existing share of the manufacturing and retail aspects of fancy dress and party supplies. With its fantastic reputation and profits this business has a great deal of potential. Due to its impressive nationwide client base, and impressive levels of profitability, we would strongly recommend a viewing in order to see the full potential the business has to offer.
