Taranaki's Top Shop is on the market. Complete with a manager, assistant manager, and 13 staff including four full-time employees, the vendors feel more like team players than owners.

Utterly transformed over the last 22 years, this managed garden centre is positively thriving. Located 10 minutes from New Plymouth township in Bell Block, the business holds a prime position for significant future growth. Additionally, website plant sales have opened up new areas for expansion demonstrated by increased demand over the last two years with sustained and continuing growth into the 2022 financial year.

Barriers to entry include specialisation in plant sales, knowledgeable, experienced staff, 6,000 - strong loyal customer base and a secure relationship with over 13 suppliers which includes a fully indented ordering system.

The vendors' reason for selling is retirement and a desire to work more on their 10-acre section.

The ideal buyer could be someone interested in gardening or landscaping looking for a ready up and running business or a buyer wanting to diversify their portfolio by expanding into horticulture through online and retail sales.

Asking Price: $1,997,000 including equipment and vehicles ($113,000 BV) and stock ($395,000).
