About this property
The Card & Gift Shop offers a straightforward, ready-made entry into retail ownership, ideal for someone looking to run their own business without a large capital outlay or the complexity of managing staff. Trading from its premises in Chesterton, Newcastle-under-Lyme since 2013, the business has built a loyal local customer base for greeting cards, gifts and related merchandise, and is being brought to the market for the first time, owing to family illness.
The business is run single-handedly by the owner on a full-time basis, with no employees to manage. For the year ended 5 April 2026 it produced turnover of £77,703 with a gross margin of around 54% and an adjusted net profit of £31,027 - a solid, single-person income from a compact, easily run operation. The vendor also offers an informal flower arranging service on request, a simple add-on that would transfer easily to a new owner.
The shop occupies a compact, well-organised trading floor with extensive card and gift display, supported by a rear stockroom and a small staff kitchenette. Rent is a modest £600 per month, and the business benefits from 100% business rates relief.
With manageable trading hours, closed on Sundays and evenings, no staff to manage, and a modest asking price, this is a low-risk, accessible opportunity for a first-time business owner or anyone looking for a straightforward, owner-operated shop with scope to build further, including the potential to add an online sales channel.
Offers Around £39,000 + sav | emf Ref: BC37207V
