Kiddie Culture provides a wide range of clothing, toys and gifts for newborn babies up to children of eight years of age. Products are available in store and to purchase on the business's ecommerce website.
This boutique business was first established in 2009 and was acquired by the current owners in 2017. For more than 15 years Kiddie Culture has serviced the Goulburn Valley, providing the current fashion trends and comfortable, practical clothing for babies and young children.
Kiddie Culture operates from a fantastic location in Fraser Street situated within the renovated and thriving Maude Street Mall precinct, in the heart of Shepparton's central business district.
The business is owned by a husband-and-wife team, one of whom works part time in the business. Kiddie Culture also employs a part time sales assistant who works around 27 hours per week.
The business would benefit from a full-time owner operator with a renewed focus on the business. The current owner works just 13 hours per week and has chosen to transition away from stocking larger items such as nursery furniture, prams and booster seats. There is opportunity here to expand upon the products and brands on offer.
A stronger focus on social media across all platforms would also benefit the business.
