Established Aberystwyth Retail Store for Sale

29 Apr 2026

David Gilbert Jewellery Limited are considering their retirement after 55yrs in the trade. David has been on both sides of the counter, having started with H Samuel Birmingham in 1972, together with several independent management positions, including T H Baker, and as Sales Manager with Corvette, Bulova, 15 years with Leslie Donn, and Gemsone, having set up this American/Indian Group in the UK.

Looking to semi-retire some 10 years ago, the current business started in the Ancient Market Hall, Aberystwyth, and enjoyed immediate and continued success in a full-time capacity.  A little over a year ago, the business transferred to a central town position and in a shop David imagined as a jewellery business some 40 years previous.

Having completed the first year, sales are in excess of £400,000 and 25% up on expectations.
