Group of four dry cleaning businesses brought to the market

Specialist business property adviser, Christie & Co has been appointed to market Sunbrite Dry Cleaners, a group of four dry cleaning businesses situated across Tyne & Wear.

Located in North Shields, Gateshead, Sunderland and Newcastle upon Tyne, all four sites are ideally situated in busy areas and benefit from high levels of footfall. Entirely run by staff and management with strong experience, each site presents the opportunity to acquire a well established and profitable community business.



Following the decision to sell the four established sites, a spokesman for Harrogate Dry Cleaning Company Ltd, who trade Sunbrite stores said, “These stores offer an excellent opportunity to acquire a long established business complete with dedicated & experienced staff. New unrelated business commitments mean that these sites are available for sale to allow me to focus on the new business venture.”

David Lee, Regional Director – North East at Christie & Co is handling the sale and comments, “Businesses of this type, which can be predominately operated by staff, rarely come to the market. Located in busy suburban settings, these four sites represent an interesting opportunity for a new purchaser to develop the trade of one or all four of these businesses.

“Demand for retail businesses in the North East remains strong as many existing retailers look to add to their portfolios and new entrants in the sector, keen to have some autonomy concerning their future plans and income, seek to purchase small to medium sized businesses which offer sought after services.”

The four sites are available as a group or individually.
