Interesting opportunity, maybe even to start a small coop..
🚀 Looking for a Passionate New Owner!
I started Back to Eden to bring affordable organic and local produce to Preston, and now, due to personal commitments, I’m looking for a highly motivated person to take it over – completely FREE! 🎉
🌽 What is it?
Back to Eden is a local and organic food distributer in the heart of Preston. Every two weeks at least 10 customers and sometimes more, order their groceries through our website.
❤️ Why am I giving it away?
I truly believe in this business’ potential, but I no longer have the time to give it the attention it deserves. Instead of shutting it down, I want to pass it to someone who will keep it growing and make it thrive.
✅ Who am I looking for?
If you are passionate about organic and local food, determined to make it work and ready to put in the effort - I'd love to hear from you!
Essential requirements:
🏠You live close to the Preston City Centre - we have customers from Broadgate, Ashton, Penwortham, New Longton, Cottam and Fulwood, so having a more or less central location would be key.
🚚 Customers/suppliers can easily get to your house - people will need to park somewhere in order to drop off or collect their boxes.
📦You have enough space in your garage or living room to place the boxes.
💪You can do some heavy lifting, as big veg boxes can be heavy.
💻You have worked with spreadsheets before.
🧑🏫You are teachable and willing to learn new skills.
☎️You are a good communicator - you will communicate a lot with customers and suppliers.
🧐You are attentive - you will be working with people's orders, which needs a lot of attention.
📅You can stay at home every other Wednesday to accept deliveries and give out boxes - of course you can still take holidays.
🎁What will you get from this?
🍫Brownie points...but seriously...appreciation from our current customers!
💷You'll earn a small profit - not enough to make a living, but perfect if you are retired, working part-time or want to obtain a business acumen without it affecting your benefits.
🛠️You will learn and develop a lot of skills - you will learn to run a business in a comfortable environment, when stakes are low and all start-up training is provided.
🤗You'll meet wonderful people and have a mini-community of your own.
😊 You will have a feeling of satisfaction from delivering a great and meaningful service.
🥦You can get your own veg box or sourdough bread at cost price.
💻 Best of all is that ALL TRAINING IS PROVIDED!
