Business Details
A Gorgeous Scandinavian Retail Shop For Sale
Located on the renowned Catherine Hill in Frome, Somerset, this successful owner-operated retail business offers a unique opportunity. Specialising in iconic products from across the Scandinavian countries, the shop enjoys widespread popularity due to its style, simplicity and timeless beauty. Drawing customers from a wide geographical area, the business also boasts an established online presence at Solsken.co.uk enabling it to reach customers throughout the UK and worldwide. Solsken has just won the SME UK Enterprise Award for Best Scandinavian Inspired Homeware Retailer 2025 Somerset. A comprehensive handover and training package will be provided to ensure the continued success of this exceptional venture. Early viewings are recommended.
LOCATION
Frome is a historic town with a charming centre and a wealth of architectural interest, complemented by a thriving contemporary arts and performing arts scene. It embodies the quintessential image of a historic market town in Somerset. Conveniently located on the eastern border of Somerset, Frome is within easy reach of Bath, Bristol, Wells, and attractions in neighbouring Wiltshire, such as Longleat and Stonehenge. The town benefits from excellent transport links, including proximity to main motorways as well as reliable rail and bus connections.
BUSINESS
The business has been established for many years, and its location on Catherine Hill has proven to be highly lucrative. Regrettably, the sale arises due to the owners’ health, making this a reluctant but necessary decision to place Solsken on the market. Over its long history, the business has cultivated strong relationships with key suppliers and these vital contacts will be introduced during the handover process. While the online presence is already effective, there is significant potential for further development, which would only enhance the impressive trade figures. Detailed trading accounts will be made available following a successful formal viewing.
