This is a rare opportunity to acquire a former salon in the beating heart of the Isle of Wight's largest town and long-established commercial centre. Ryde benefits from strong local trade plus a seasonal influx of visitors arriving by fast catamaran and hovercraft, which boosts footfall along the High Street, Union Street and the Esplanade.
The town is seeing heritage-led regeneration to enhance its historic core and make the high street more attractive to retail, leisure and hospitality businesses. Nationally-funded initiatives targeted at improving shopfronts, restoring buildings and upgrading the public realm are helping to create an environment where new businesses can thrive.
Ryde's retail mix - national names alongside a lively independent sector of boutiques, cafés and specialist shops - gives a town-centre unit excellent potential whether you're planning a retail store, café/restaurant or mixed-use business. For a broader view of Ryde as a shopping and visitor destination, see this overview: Isle of Wight — shopping & visitor guide.
