Albury NSW 2640
Well-established (20 years) Costume and Wig Hire and Sale Business
Phone enquiries - please quote property ID 29588.
Betty Boo Wigs and Costumes has been trading for around 20 years and offers all kinds of costumers, wigs, accessories, outfits, fancy dress, etc. for sale and hire, as well as offering events and services for functions and professional purposes. This business typically experiences good, steady profits, and while the pandemic has obviously been tough, the business has bounced back considerably and is well-positioned for a new owner looking to take on its enormous growth potential, as the current one is looking to retire.
The business has recently relocated, and the new location is already presenting significant growth opportunities. Business benefits greatly from word-of-mouth, Facebook, and community groups, with increasing activity and clear potential to increase further with time, especially if you chose to input further efforts into marketing elsewhere. While the previous location offered set opening hours, the Albury location has re-focused efforts on an appointment-based service with a warehouse location, which is currently providing a flexible arrangement that you could choose to continue or switch back to regular public hours or both – keep it flexible or open up its potential!
Compared with the previous Griffith location, Albury presents a significant opportunity with access to a larger demographic. There are no current competitors and the former regional area, which included Wagga Wagga and Griffith, is also still competitor free. There is a significant school-based market that exists for production and school functions, which has greatly increased from the new location. The current lease of the modern warehouse is a 12-month lease with options to extend.
The business has won numerous retail awards including NSW Business Chamber Outstanding Business awards in the retail and service categories, Canberra CAT awards for theatre productions, NSW Tourism media promotion awards, and National Volunteer of the Year Award for Cancer Patient assistance (Wigs).
