Since taking ownership in 2023, our clients have renovated, redecorated, and upgraded with new equipment, fixtures, and fittings, all fully paid for and included in the sale price. This is a significant advantage for a new owner, as it eliminates the need for additional spending in the near future. The only exception is the coffee machine, which is currently under a monthly rental contract that can be cancelled at any time.
Pink Sage launched its coffee shop doors in November, swiftly garnering acclaim among locals for its exquisite decor and premium offerings. Its immediate success has prompted expansion, now boasting authorisation to serve a range of savoury delights alongside its coveted coffee selection. Additionally, the business has secured a coveted alcohol license.
Positioned with an outdoor seating area facing South, it’s poised to capitalise on the town’s picturesque evenings, offering charcuterie boards paired with sparkling beverages. This innovative concept is primed to be a standout in Stratford, filling a unique niche in the local scene.
Being the sole florist in Stratford-upon-Avon, there’s significant room for growth, especially in catering to corporate clients, wedding venues, hotels, and more. Additionally, there’s ample opportunity to expand the events side of the business, given that it comes with a wide array of event props.
Location
Pink Sage & Pink Coffee Custard occupies a property within a highly desirable location, on Rother Street in Stratford Upon Avon.
Premises
Originally, there were two separate buildings, but they’ve now been seamlessly integrated into one multifunctional space.
On the left-hand side (formerly no. 39), you’ll find a vibrant flower shop. As you enter, you’re greeted by a welcoming customer area with visible florist workstations. Beyond that lies a rear flower storage room with convenient access to a spacious car park/delivery area. Adjacent to the storage room is a small area equipped with a sink and tea/coffee making facilities, along with a WC for convenience. Below, accessible through a lift-up floor hatch from the customer area, is a sizable storage basement.
Connecting seamlessly through an archway is the right-hand side (previously no. 40), now transformed into a cozy coffee shop. The front area boasts seating for eleven, overlooking a charming display of cakes. Behind the counter, a hallway leads to a compact yet fully functional serving area, featuring a mini oven, induction hot plate, microwave, and kettle. Stairs from this area lead to additional seating on a landing, with access to the rear car park.
Ascending to the first floor, you’ll find a landing area with tables and chairs for four. From here, you can access a small staff kitchen equipped with essential amenities and a freezer for storing cakes. A customer restroom is also conveniently located off this space.
Additionally, the first floor offers three versatile rooms. One is currently utilized as a bright gift room, perfect for workshops or private events. Another serves as a storeroom with ample cupboard space, while the third is a cozy nook for storage.
Included in the sale are all fixtures and fittings, excluding personal artifacts. A comprehensive array of floristry items, such as vases and wedding props, is also part of the package.
