Long-established family-run aquatics shop for sale

 

A long-establish and family-run aquatics shop has been put up for sale as the owners plan to retire.

 

Hunnyhill Aquatics in Newport on the Isle of Wight is being marketed by agents Scotcher & Co.

 

In the marketing material, the agents say: “Only available for sale due to our client's retirement plans, Hunnyhill Aquatics is a very long-established and popular family-run business, offering services to include aquarium stands and cabinets, pond equipment to include pumps, UV clarifiers and filters, pond liners (either flexible or rigid), aquatic plants both real and artificial, filters, heating and lighting, fish foods for ponds and aquariums in both winter and summer, plus treatments and medications. 

 

“We believe the business offers an ideal opportunity for a new owner to either continue in the same vein or expand accordingly. 

 

“The business is offered fully equipped as a going concern, and the fixtures, fittings and equipment will be inventoried on the occasion of a sale. Stock will be sold separately at valuation, and we are advised that this currently averages some £65,000. 

 

“The buildings can also be made available to purchase as part of any transaction by additional negotiation and on a Freehold basis, if required. Price on Application.”
