About this business
This Manchester store sells cards, party goods, balloons, gifts and seasonal decorations from a retail park unit that it owns. It opened in 2021 and has 15 staff. Sales have fallen each year, from £1.83m to £1.55m, and adjusted EBITDA from £185k to £138k, so a buyer would need to reverse the decline. Net profit was £114k. The sale includes the unit, and net assets of £587k exceed the £500k asking price. A buyer gets a large store with parking and a clear job of rebuilding sales.
Key investment highlights
- Freehold retail park unit included
- Net profit of £114k
- Team of 15
