Book and convenience store with great potential

Company history/background

A great and distinctive entrepreneurial opportunity lies in a prime location in the center of Beverwijk. At Breestraat 77, a successful shop is for sale with a strong local presence and a remarkably powerful profile in the field of books. The shop has been run with great dedication for years, building up a loyal customer base over the years. What makes this shop special is that the proportion of books is significantly higher than the average within the retail chain. In addition to private customers, the business market also knows how to find the shop very well.

For example, Tata Steel, various primary and secondary schools, the hospital, the municipality, and the library are among the regular book buyers, ensuring a stable and interesting revenue stream. In addition, active efforts are made to build customer loyalty by organizing events such as an annual teachers' evening, a back-to-school event, and participation in various Christmas markets in December.

Company activities

The store is located on Breestraat, one of Beverwijk's main shopping streets. This is the beating heart of the city centre, where a broad public gathers daily. Furthermore, the city has a strong regional function, partly due to the well-known Bazaar and its location near places such as Heemskerk, Wijk aan Zee, and Haarlem. This ensures a constant stream of visitors and an attractive business climate.

With a retail area of ​​approximately 236 m², there is room for a broad and high-quality assortment. In addition to the strong book selection, the store has developed into a versatile convenience store with an attractive range of gift items, games, and creative products. It works with strong and recognizable brands such as Topmodel, Faber-Castell, Posca, Hitster, Legami, Van Haasteren and Wasgij puzzles, 999 Games, Hallmark, Stabilo, Robotime (Book Nooks), Paperblanks, Pokémon, and Douwe Egberts loyalty products. This mix attracts a broad audience and makes the store interesting.

Unique selling points

The combination of books, gift items, games, and service products creates a lively store where customers return regularly. With an annual turnover of approximately 1.3 million euros, there is a solid foundation for an entrepreneur who wishes to continue this store and expand it further. A personal contribution of approximately €75,000 is required for the acquisition.

Other

At the same time, you benefit from support in purchasing, marketing, automation, and guidance, while there remains room to add local touches and give the store its own character.
