Retail for sale in South East

Well Respected Sweet Shop and Café with a Diverse Service Offering Operating from Oxfordshire An excellent opportunity has arisen to acquire a well-established and highly regarded independent sweet shop and café in Oxfordshire. Founded in 2021, Stanley's Sweets & Treats Ltd has built a strong reputation for its traditional old-fashioned sweet shop, offering a wide selection of confectionery sold by weight alongside packaged sweets. The business also operates a popular café serving premium milkshakes, hot and cold beverages, ice cream, cakes, and a selection of freshly prepared savoury food. The business occupies a prominent ground-floor unit within a busy shopping precinct, benefiting from consistent footfall and excellent accessibility for customers of all ages and abilities. Despite operating alongside several nearby cafés, Stanley's Sweets & Treats has continued to grow its loyal customer base. The business has successfully differentiated itself through its unique combination of nostalgic confectionery, quality café offerings, and friendly independent service, attracting customers who actively seek to support local businesses. The company achieved a peak turnover of £252,000, with further potential supported by projected reductions in overhead costs from 2026 onwards. This presents an attractive opportunity for an owner-operator or investor to build on the business's established reputation and continued growth. The business is being offered for sale solely due to the owners' planned retirement, creating an exceptional opportunity to acquire a profitable and much-loved local enterprise with significant future potential.
