Established Award Winning Bridal & Alterations Business – Must Be Sold by 30 August

ESTABLISHED (10 years) BRIDAL & ALTERATIONS BUSINESS – SUNSHINE COAST, QLD
Genuine Opportunity – Must Be Sold by 30 August

This is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the Sunshine Coast's most respected and established bridal and clothing alterations businesses.

I've made a personal decision to pursue a new direction and, rather than simply closing the doors, am offering this profitable and well-established business for sale to someone who wants to work for themselves in a well-oiled, systemised business.

If the business is not sold by 30 August, it will close permanently, and I will tweak it to suit my new plans. This is a genuine sale with a genuine deadline.

Operating full-time since 2020, the business has earned an outstanding reputation for premium workmanship, personalised service and exceptional customer care. Today it is recognised as one of the region's leading specialists in bridal, formal and clothing alterations, with clients coming from Hervey Bay, Gympie, and further north.

Situated in a prime retail location within a busy shopping precinct in the heart of Caloundra, the studio enjoys excellent street frontage, strong pedestrian traffic and ample customer parking. This is a destination business and does not rely on foot traffic as people come for the services. The location of the shop and surrounding businesses has only increased the inflow of new customers.

The real estate agent has confirmed that the successful purchaser will have the opportunity to negotiate a new lease (subject to the landlord's standard approval process).
