Cogogo presents a golden opportunity to own a long-established independent business that's all about sustainability, community, and conscious living.
This well-established wholefoods and zero-waste shop has been proudly serving Chelmsford for around 50 years, with the current owner at the helm for the last 15.
With a loyal customer base and a fantastic reputation, this business is primed for a new owner to step in and continue its legacy or take it to the next level.
Situated in the heart of Chelmsford, the shop enjoys a central location that draws in footfall from locals and eco-conscious shoppers alike. It’s a destination for those who care about what they eat and how they shop. Nearby amenities and easy transport links make it both accessible and well-loved by the community.
This zero-waste haven offers a wide selection of whole foods, household goods, and plastic-free alternatives. With sustainability at its core, the shop provides refill stations and environmentally-friendly products, encouraging greener choices without compromising on quality. Customers appreciate the warm, personal service and the thoughtful curation of ethical, locally sourced goods.
There’s real potential to grow this business even further – the website is already live and trading, but could benefit hugely from a push on social media and online advertising. With more visibility and digital engagement, the next owner could tap into the growing demand for sustainable shopping beyond the local area.
