About the Store
Fulham Specsavers has been an established business, set on the main road of Fulham for circa 20 years and is firmly embedded withing the local community.

The store is due for a refit in the New Year (2022) which will be financed largely by the current partners and will be completed by the end of January. Open until 7 most nights, 7 days per week, the store currently benefits from 3 testing rooms, a basement lab, staff room and stock room and a strong clinical and retail team.
Despite this store running very well, any incoming director will be pleased to know that there is still plenty of opportunity here for further growth and expansion if desired.
Kensington Specsavers, which sits in a prime location, behind the checkouts within the Sainsburys on Cromwell Road, is only 2 years old but has equal levels of potential to Fulham. Having opened at a difficult time in 2019, the store has gone from strength to strength since 2 new partners joined in September 2020. The store is on track to make an impressive turnover this year with good operating profit.
Kensington Specsavers boasts 4 testing rooms, 1 dedicated Audiology room and a call centre that services both stores. Kensington Specsavers boasts the highest basket spend in the country and serves a wealthy demographic from the surrounding area.
Kensington Specsavers offers a tremendous opportunity for growth. They currently run only one clinic but has both the capacity and demand to more than double in size over the coming years.
Fulham Specsavers is also an Audiology hub store and the incoming directors would also buy shares in this business. The hub runs clinics twice a week in Fulham, twice a week in Kensington and once a week in its spoke.
