CoGoGo are delighted to welcome to the market Castle Emporium Ltd, a highly rated retail business in Helmsley, York. 

The business was first established by our client in 2022 and has flourished since opening accruing a number of regular customers along with a burgeoning reputation.

Castle Emporium Ltd has now come to the open market due to our clients wish to retire and spend more time with family. 

The business specialises in selling a wide range of Antiques, Gifts, Homeware and Doggy Gifts, serving locals and a high volume of tourists. 

Opportunities – 

• The business presents an excellent opportunity for a buyer, in that it has built in a single year since incorporation, a loyal returning local and distant following; yet today it has not developed a website and is solely reliant on new and returning footfall.
• The potential to utilise the business website for online sales coupled with its unique exclusive suppliers, mixed offer and loyal customers brings a great potential for exponential growth. 
• A steady retail business within a high footfall tourist retail area whilst growing an online ecommerce section of the business. 
• Increase the trading hours.
• Introduce more advertising/marketing.
