Established Vintage retail business for sale in Cardiff city centre

New Year, New Business Opportunity!

The business, established 12 years ago, is now available for purchase. Situated within a prime location, less than a three-minute walk from Cardiff Central Station, it attracts a diverse array of customers, including locals, national and international visitors, and employees from nearby media businesses such as the BBC.

For a purchase price of £5,000, the offer includes both fittings and stock at valuation. The store specializes in "real" vintage items, offering an impressive range of products such as clothing, accessories (like handbags, gloves, and scarves), costume jewellery, haberdashery, hats, china, and ephemera. Most of these items are over 30 years old, with some being more than a century old. The business continues to thrive due to the growing popularity of quality vintage and reused items, providing environmental benefits while offering customers unique pieces at lower prices than on the High Street.

This profitable business benefits from low fixed costs and offers free city center parking on market days. Moreover, it is located within a larger Antique Market which operates three days a week, from Thursday to Saturday, providing ample opportunities for foot traffic. The business also presents a fantastic chance for growth through social media engagement, with possibilities to expand the retail footprint at a modest cost.

The sale is a terrific opportunity to start a new career in 2025 without any debts or existing employees. The owner, who is selling due to retirement, is offering a handover period and training to ensure a smooth transition, sharing extensive experience and knowledge in retail.

With a latest annualized revenue of £16,000, the business has witnessed a 20% increase in turnover over the past five years. Note that this revenue is generated from market sales only and excludes online sales. Further financial information is available upon inquiry.

This fully fitted, owner-financed small business in a town center location is an ideal investment in a thriving market sector with close proximity to shops, restaurants, and public services. Take advantage of this prime opportunity to leverage a well-established customer base and successful business model to ensure continued success.
