This baby store has been operating for over 10 years and has many strengths and opportunities still waiting to be fully tapped into. Reasons you should consider this store include:
* One of the largest Baby stores in country NSW (excluding superstores) with a approximately 365m2 of retail floor space (approx 650m total building area including kitchen, bathroom, office and 2 x storage areas).
* Has a regional shopping population of approximately 130,000
* Brand new lease in new premises offering 3+3yrs (fixed rent first 3 years). Potential to sub-lease 200m rear shed if surplus to storage requirements.
* 2 biggest hospitals in the region recorded over 2000 births in 2009. Approximately 60% were first born, and first time parents have a much higher total spend since they have no existing baby items).
* Holds brand exclusivity in the area for many premium, market leading product lines including Safe N Sound, Steelcraft, Boori, Grotime, Love N Care and Kidsline.
* An excellent Point of Sale and customer records system. The business has a large customer database, offering the prospective owners a large direct marketing base. There is also growing client lists on both the website and Facebook page.
* Recent regulations concerning booster seats means a whole new market of 4 – 7 year olds who now require a booster seat by law.
* Currently able to be operated by 1 full time + 1 part time staff (offering a low staffing overhead if desired or no staff overhead for a couple to run). Current PT staff is keen to stay on and is a capable manager for any distant investors.
* Has a customer base extending out hundres of km’s in every direction. This type of store is a destination store and requires no incidental pedestrian traffic to maintain sales. It is, however, located in an attractive highway position with a massive 25m wide street frontage, off-street customer parking, and offers customers a leisurely shop. New customers will regularly spend up to an hour in the store.
* The Federal Government $5000 baby bonus added millions to the baby goods industry each year since inception. We anticipate the new paid parental leave changes will continue that, and provides an opportunity to increase the total spend of some parents through our Take Home Lay-by facility.
* The current owners are also happy to provide their list of business ideas yet to be implemented as part of this attractive package, including a list of supplier discounts and rebates, saving you tens of thousands of dollars a year if fully utilised.
