Features and description
Business
CoGoGo is delighted to welcome to the market this well-established and busy dry cleaning business, which is ideally located within the town of Didcot, Oxfordshire.
The business was originally established in 1978 and has been in our clients’ careful ownership since 1987. Only now is the business being offered to the market, due to our clients’ desire for a well-deserved retirement. The business currently operates 6 days per week and generates a turnover in the region of £98,000 per annum, according to the 2015 accounts, with a gross profit of approximately 92%.
Our clients offer a wide variety of services, including dry cleaning, laundry service, ironing service, household and domestic cleaning and service washes, to name a few. The property boasts 70 sq. Metres of floor space, is very well maintained and fitted out to suit the trade.
The business has built up an excellent reputation within the area for the high quality of the services offered, which has resulted in a very loyal client base, with a good volume of repeat trade and word of mouth recommendations.
We feel there is scope to increase the turnover by embarking on a modest marketing campaign to highlight the excellent services offered. Our clients already have a very informative and easy to use website in place to promote the business at .
This is an excellent opportunity for a new owner, perhaps a husband and wife team or partnership, to take this already thriving business to the next level; therefore, early viewing must come highly recommended to avoid disappointment.
Location
