Blacks Business Brokers Facilitates Successful Sale Of Four Seasons
Blacks Business Brokers is pleased to announce the successful sale of Four Seasons, a well-established and much-loved fresh produce and garden goods store located in a busy shopping centre in Birmingham. The business, which had been operating successfully since 2007, has now changed hands as the previous owners move into retirement, marking a new chapter for the business and a promising opportunity for the new proprietor.
Four Seasons had built an enviable reputation for quality, variety, and excellent customer service. Known for its wide range of fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as a diverse selection of groceries, cakes, plants, fresh flowers, and garden accessories, the store quickly became a staple of the local community. Its location within a thriving shopping centre, surrounded by a mix of independent retailers and national chains, provided a steady flow of footfall. Customers not only valued the quality and freshness of the products on offer but also the friendly service and inviting layout of the store. The premises were large, well-equipped, and professionally maintained, boasting modern signage, a prominent glazed frontage, and excellent stock management systems, including a conveyor belt from the lower-ground stockroom.
With annual turnover figures reaching £305,019 and a gross profit of £129,477 for the year ending March 2023, the business demonstrated robust financial health. It operated under a Full Repair and Insure lease, with competitive rental terms and an additional external display area that enhanced its visual appeal and product visibility. This was a turnkey operation ideal for a hands-on owner or a small team looking to expand an already successful local enterprise.
Blacks Business Brokers was selected by the vendor to handle the sale due to our proven track record in selling independent retail businesses and our tailored approach to each client’s unique circumstances. Our marketing strategy focused on identifying motivated buyers who would appreciate the heritage and potential of the business while ensuring the process was discreet and efficient. Through our national database, extensive marketing network, and a highly experienced team, we generated significant interest and secured a suitable buyer who aligned with the seller’s goals and values.
Amy Page, the sales negotiator responsible for managing the transaction, commented on the successful outcome: “Four Seasons was a pleasure to bring to market. From the outset, it was clear the business had a loyal following and a strong reputation, which gave us a fantastic foundation to attract serious interest. What made the process even more rewarding was seeing a business that had been nurtured for nearly two decades handed over to someone with fresh enthusiasm and vision. It’s always satisfying to know the legacy of the business will continue, and I’m proud that we could support the sellers in making a smooth transition into retirement.”
The new owners now have the opportunity to build upon this solid foundation. With scope for expansion through digital platforms, the introduction of local delivery services, and the potential to widen the product range, the future looks promising. The business already benefits from a densely populated catchment area, excellent transport links via the M6, and amenities such as schools and medical centres that keep customer traffic steady and consistent.
The sale of Four Seasons reflects not only the strength of the local retail market but also the continuing demand for community-oriented businesses that offer quality, value, and a personal touch. At Blacks Business Brokers, we are proud to play a role in supporting business owners at every stage of their journey, whether they are selling to retire, relocate, or simply move on to a new venture.
