Here is an opportunity to acquire a successful business, with a great reputation, that's been running on the Costa del Sol for over 22 years.
How to be Lovely is a special ladies dress shop, based in Las Rampas, Fuengirola - a pedestrian walkway from the high street to the sea front and the marina.
Las Rampas includes a bakery, several cafeterias, a Norwegian wool shop, a hotel, Dunnes Stores, a tatoo artist, a gymnasium, a souvenir shop, a gift shop, a nail parlour, tanning shop, and an arts and craft shop. So there's a never-ending rich tapestry of foot traffic. Plus the english speaking theatre, Salon Varieties, is just around the corner.
The shop is only a two minute walk from the train station, one minute from the bus terminal and there's an underground car park directly underneath.
How to be Lovely specialises in (realistic size) every day, and special occasion, ladies wear, and prides itself in providing an honest personalised shopping experience for it's clients, who repeatedly return and recommend to others.
The business has always attracted several groups. Locals (Spanish and international) who provide the regular "bread and butter". People travelling from other areas along the coast who know about, or have been recommended to, the shop. Plus of course, the lucrative seasonal tourist trade.
The shop freehold is 100% owned by Johanne, who has run the business since it opened in 1998. The shop closed at the start of the pandemic in 2020. It has been redecorated and is ready to open again. It is fully equipped and functional, with visa/mastercard facilities, so can be re-opened for trading to begin again immediately.
Johanne is now looking after her elderly mother, so can't dedicate time to the shop every day. She also feels it's the right time for fresh blood and new ideas to grow the business.
Jo will be available to provide complete assistance to the person taking over, training them how to run the business (if needed), introducing them to suppliers and assisting them in ways to continue making the business successful, which has always provided her a healthy income.
If you believe you are the person to take over How to be Lovely and take it to the next stage of it's journey, please contact Johanne, or her husband Mark, on +34 664 645 067, or by email to [email protected] to discuss the opportunity.
