About this business
Trading since 2014 from a freehold unit in a Leeds shopping centre, this shop sells greeting cards, wrapping, gifts, homeware and seasonal ranges, with its busiest weeks around Christmas and Mother's Day. It employs 15 people. Turnover has held at about £1.6m, and adjusted EBITDA has risen gently from £94k to £110k. The asking price of £250k is far below net assets of £781k, which include the property. A buyer gets the freehold and a steady shopping centre trade.
