Business opportunity!
Due to two upcoming retirements, we have made the decision to offer our business for sale, this could be a fantastic opportunity for the right person or team. (Please note, the shop is still open and running as usual while we search for new owners)
The shop benefits from an excellent location near a busy crossroads with lots of passing trade from surrounding towns and villages, including Haworth, Oakworth, Oxenhope, Stanbury, Keighley and Hebden Bridge. The premises are currently rented from a private landlord on a rolling lease and the landlord is happy to negotiate a new lease with a potential buyer. Included with the lease is the use of an off-street carpark. The premises are comprised of two showrooms with double fronted display windows, an office/kitchen, bathroom, two workrooms upstairs and a stock room, there is lots of potential to use the space to add further elements to the business. The rear showroom also has access and a private parking area outside.
We are a well-established business and have been here for 22 years. We have built up a very good reputation for quality workmanship and excellent customer service, we have a 5-star rating on Google and a website and social media accounts set up. We have a strong client base and a large number of return and regular customers. We also have longstanding accounts with some of the UK's leading interior fabric suppliers. We have a steady flow of work, and the business is busy enough to comfortably employ two to three people.
Most of our business comes from the sale of fabrics and made-to-measure curtains and roman blinds, which we make on the premises in our well-equipped workroom above the showroom. We also make bespoke cushions, window seats and other small items for the home. As well as sales of items not made on the premises, such as, other types of blinds, wallpaper, curtain poles and accessories. We also work alongside a local upholsterer and a fitter both of whom are self-employed. We have invested in a large collection of pattern books and display stands to enable customers to browse a range fabrics, poles and wallcoverings, the showroom also has many sample curtains and blinds to showcase options of styles.
We feel that the right person could take what is already a thriving and consistent business and expand it further, there is scope for adding other elements to the business such as furniture, lighting, in-house upholstery, arts and crafts or online sales. The two upstairs workrooms could be reconfigured to accommodate additional equipment for other types of manufacturing.
