The Marlborough region has a number of new residential developments under way in four Blenheim locations and approval recently signed for a major aged care development.
Established in 1996 and owned by the current owners since 2006, the Blenheim Guthrie Bowron business is well supported by a loyal, long-term client base.
Purpose-built in 2013, the store is a leased facility approximately 660sq m in size and boasting attractive product display areas, offices, storage and fabrication facilities, two client entrances and 22 carparks.
The store interior is well-lit and apportioned with three administration offices, a cutting and sewing room for window furnishing, extensive display areas, staffroom and facilities, and a large internal trade storage facility spanning the entire width of the building for receipt of incoming goods and dispatch.
With strong revenues and an enviable gross profit, the business has grown over the years into a respected supplier of home decorating products and services to trade and private clients.
The store is the Dulux trade outlet for Blenheim and an established supplier of extended flooring, wallpaper, and window furnishing product ranges.
Delivering average annual revenues of $1.4 million and a gross profit of 45 per cent, this is a strongly performing business.
With its long-serving and experienced staff, new owners can manage the business with minimal input or with full daily involvement if desired.
New owners will enjoy continued support from a well-run franchisor, an established business name, national advertising and central purchasing negotiations.
Recent improvements in the Guthrie Bowron franchise model have been crucial for the overall growth in the business’ profitability.
The move to the current mainstreet location of the Blenheim store in 2013 has provided a solid platform for the business to take on the huge growth in the Marlborough region for the next decade and beyond.
“This store really is one of the jewels in the Marlborough retail crown. Enjoying solid regional support, it operates like a well-loved watch. This fine business will make its new owner a proud member of the Blenheim business community “ says Ramsteijn.
Nestled in the wine capital of New Zealand - and within easy reach of the Marlborough Sounds - this business matches an enviable income with an attractive regional lifestyle.
