Cardiff Town, Cardiff, ID 149468
A well-established vintage and antiques business, operating for 12 years, is now available for purchase in a prime Cardiff city center location, less than a three-minute walk from Cardiff Central Station. The store attracts a diverse mix of customers, including locals, national and international visitors, and employees from nearby media companies such as the BBC. The sale price of £5,000 includes all fittings and stock at valuation. The business specializes in genuine vintage items, offering clothing, accessories such as handbags, gloves, and scarves, costume jewellery, haberdashery, hats, china, and ephemera. Most items are over 30 years old, with some more than a century old. The store benefits from growing interest in quality vintage and reused items, appealing to environmentally conscious consumers and offering unique pieces at competitive prices. Operating within a larger Antique Market open Thursday to Saturday, the business enjoys consistent foot traffic. Free city center parking on market days adds to its appeal. There is significant potential for growth through social media marketing and modest expansion of the retail footprint. This profitable business operates with low fixed costs, no debts, and no employees. The owner is retiring and will provide a handover and training to ensure a smooth transition. Latest annualized revenue is £16,000, reflecting a 20% increase in turnover over the past five years, generated from market sales only. This fully fitted, owner-financed small business represents an ideal investment for 2025, leveraging a strong existing customer base, a prime location, and a proven business model.
