Business
Please quote reference B08291

CoGoGo presents a fantastic opportunity called Layton’s, a thriving and well-established greengrocer in the heart of Leatherhead, Surrey. 

After 25 years of building a loyal customer base and enjoying steady profits, the current owner is retiring, making this a unique chance for an enthusiastic buyer to take over a flourishing retail business with room for further growth.

Layton’s enjoys an unbeatable location on Leatherhead’s busy high street, situated next to a Tesco Express and a highly reputable butcher, ensuring a consistent flow of passing trade. With a free car park directly behind the shops, customer convenience is maximised, and the business benefits from both local footfall and repeat customs from loyal regulars.

Currently, 99% of the business’s turnover comes from in-store sales, making this an ideal purchase for someone looking for a well-performing retail operation. There is, however, great potential to grow the business further by expanding into local delivery services or setting up additional commercial accounts with restaurants or catering businesses, if desired. This flexibility makes Layton’s attractive to both seasoned business owners and new entrepreneurs looking to add their personal touch.

One of the major advantages of this business is the inclusion of a comfortable, two-bedroom flat located directly above the shop. This could be used as owner accommodation or rented out for additional income, providing a great option for buyers looking to maximise their investment.

The shop itself is well-equipped with everything you need to continue trading smoothly from day one. The front retail area boasts a spacious layout with a large multi-deck fridge at the back of the shop, perfect for showcasing fresh produce to customers. Beyond the shop floor, there is a large walk-in fridge in the back room, ideal for storage ensuring stock remains fresh and of the highest quality.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to acquire a well-loved, profitable greengrocer in a superb location, with room to grow the business even further. Layton’s is the perfect investment for someone looking to step into a turnkey business with years of goodwill already established. Act quickly – this business won’t stay on the market for long!
