Driven by an unwavering commitment to exceptional customer service, the business meticulously curates its collections, sourcing brands from across the globe and attending prestigious showcases and trade shows to ensure it offers the latest and most coveted products.
The business has cultivated a loyal following from surrounding counties, boasting strong customer loyalty and repeat business. The footwear selection features renowned brands like Kickers, Lelli-kelly, Armani, Calvin Klein, and Boss, ensuring every aspect of a child's wardrobe is met with sophistication and quality.
While the physical boutique remains the cornerstone of operations, a seamlessly integrated online presence accounts for 8% of revenue. Leveraging a robust social media presence with over 6k followers on Instagram and 5.2k on Facebook, the business continues to thrive and adapt in an ever-evolving retail landscape.

The business also operates a transactional website through the Shopify platform, complemented by an Epos-linked system capable of comprehensive sales reporting, analysis, and seamless transactions. Currently, web sales contribute to 8% of the total revenue, showcasing the effectiveness of the online platform in generating income.
There is 1 full-time employee, 4 part-time employees, and 2 individuals on 0 hour contracts. The management structure is built on long-standing staff members, supported by a dedicated store manager. While the owner maintains a hands-on approach, the business runs smoothly with the experienced team in place, enjoying a high level of autonomy.
With its strong foundation in exclusivity, reputation, and prime location, this business offers diverse opportunities for expansion.
Leveraging digital marketing strategies to boost online sales could extend its reach beyond the local market. Introducing new designer brands and complementary services such as nail art and hairdressing could elevate the boutique's appeal and revenue streams, alongside offerings like baby gifting and nursery products.
With three floors of ample space and a devoted customer base, the potential for growth is excellent under fresh ownership.
