Opportunity
•The business undertook a strategic decision in Q2 2025 to exit from a national franchise agreement to move to an independent setting. This created the opportunity to build a bespoke brand as well as adapt the offering based on customer feedback.
•This included a full refit of the premises and a significant investment in new equipment to inject newness and replaced old, tired equipment. This in turn has broadened the customer appeal and enhanced their experience.
•The strategic change created an unforeseen impact on revenue levels due to marketing and communication issues which arose following the move to independent operation. This in turn, created trading losses over the course of FY26.
•Work is being undertaken to address this issue through additional marketing and, based on current footfall, visitor numbers are expected to increase back towards historic levels, driving a return to profitability. This is further strengthened by:
•A large, well-known retailer is currently finalising the fit out of a new trading premises within walking distance of the business, which is expected to generate significantly increased footfall and revenue.
•Scope to extend the current 16,000 sqft space into an adjoining property which is currently vacant, presenting an opportunity for significant expansion.
