Features and description
- Leasehold
We are delighted to be appointed to bring to the market this excellent opportunity to acquire a highly regarded diy and homeware store, set on a spacious site in the rapidly expanding village of Poringland on the outskirts of Norwich.
The business occupies a prominent position in the centre of the village and is very much part of the local community.
In return, the business is well supported by a loyal customer base who appreciate the extensive range of products and services that are readily available, saving them the need to travel into the city.
Offering areas for further growth and development, this business would appeal to a new owner-operator with retail experience, or an existing store looking to acquire a further branch.
The business
The store was established by the current owners in 2015 and is now only coming to the market due to the vendors' pending retirement. They are, however, very keen to see the business continue to grow and flourish, continuing to serve the needs of the local population.
The business offers a wide variety of product lines and services, including key cutting and paint mixing, and is a stockist of Calor Gas and an agent for Hobby Weld. The main building stocks various homeware items akin to a national diy retailer, though on a smaller scale. The second building operates as a builders' merchant, serving both trade and public customers, and also provides a small plant hire service. Due to the size of the site and yard, they can offer a range of garden products and other external building materials.
They are currently part of the 'Home Hardware' buying group, which helps to maximise margins on stock purchases as well as providing regular marketing materials and brochures. A new owner would not need to continue this arrangement if they chose not to; however, the current owners have found it beneficial to the business.
Premises
The site from which the business operates is a particularly attractive feature and could potentially offer an opportunity to expand the business's services.
There is a wide frontage to the main road with several car parking spaces for customers and staff, making the business highly visible and easily accessible. There are two separate buildings side by side, with a central driveway leading to the large rear yard, enabling stock deliveries to be easily unloaded.
The main building measures approximately 17m x 11m and is predominantly retail space, but also includes a manager's office and staff room/kitchen. Entered through double doors, the building features various display fittings and shelving, together with a customer service counter equipped with an epos till point. A wide metal external staircase leads to a sizeable first-floor storage area. The second building is around 10m x 7.5m and is open-plan but fitted with a range of display racks, shelving, and a service counter.
Externally, in addition to the parking, there is a garden centre area with an array of plants, trees, shrubs, plant pots and covered areas, as well as a space set aside for the plant hire service. There is also ‘The Shack’ created from an old war-time Nissan Hut where various seasonal items are stocked and sold. The rear yard is of a good size and provides ample room for storage and sales. There is a range of racking for timber and other materials. Both buildings and the site are alarmed and benefit from CCTV coverage.
