Fishing Tackle Shop in Lancashire For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this highly regarded retail business specialising in fishing tackle, bait and accessories. Crown Tackle and Bait has been established for over 50 years and has built up an enviable reputation throughout the local area, benefiting from a loyal and regular customer base. Currently the business has an annual turnover of £52,360. There remains infinite scope to develop turnover further as this has been achieved with negligible external marketing or advertising activity. In addition, the business does not have a web-site or undertake any e-commerce activity, offering scope to significantly increase turnover further if desired. This is a particularly attractive purchase as this is the only fishing tackle shop trading within Horwich. It should also be noted that fishing is an increasingly popular past-time in the area, with five active clubs operating. The business has only come onto the market due to retirement and a full handover or on-gong assistance on a part-time basis by our client is available if desired. This is a unique opportunity to purchase such a popular and well established local business offering an ideal lifestyle change opportunity. Early discussions with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
