Falcon Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this well-presented Garden Centre with an extremely popular separate Cafe. The business occupies a prime trading position on one of the main roads in Lincolnshire that leads to the coast. It has been under the proud ownership of our clients since 2006 and is now reluctantly being placed on the market as the owner has decided that it is time to semi-retire.

During our client’s stewardship, the business has built up an excellent reputation for its welcoming atmosphere, friendly service, great food and fantastic selection.

This thriving opportunity offers a range of plants, gardening materials, gifts and seasonal products along with its very own daytime Cafe that serves a selection of teas, coffees, cakes and light meals. Food is cooked to order and all produce is sourced locally wherever possible. It is considered the premises are suitable for all types of cuisine.

Our clients business enjoys an all-year-round trade and has sales in the region of £360,000 with excellent gross profit margins. There is tremendous potential to increase turnover and profits by possibly running a modest marketing campaign or offering online sales as the business is currently without a significant e-commerce presence.

This rarely available opportunity is not to be missed, and early negotiations with Falcon Commercial come highly recommended
