About this business
This Cardiff business sells video games, consoles, PC gaming hardware and accessories from a large leased store in a shopping centre and through its website. It employs 50 people. Turnover has grown every year, from £7.79m in 2021 to £9.20m, but EBITDA has fallen from £510k to £437k, leaving a margin below 5%. The business has traded since 2012. A buyer with buying power or a plan to add higher-margin services, such as repairs or events, could improve returns considerably.
