Pet shop with freehold unit on a Plymouth retail park

About this business

A pet shop on a retail park in Plymouth selling food, accessories, small animals and aquarium supplies, with a self-service dog wash. The freehold unit is included in the sale. It opened in 2019 and has six staff. Turnover has risen gently to £750k and adjusted EBITDA from £32k to £51k, so margins are improving but still thin, as is usual for pet retail. The asking price of £110k is far below net assets of £309k.

Key investment highlights

  • Freehold retail park unit
  • Asking price £110k
  • Net assets of £309k
  • Adjusted EBITDA up to £51k

Reason for sale

The owners are moving to Cornwall to run a smallholding.
