Showcase Dance and Fancy Dress looking for new owners

Established dance and costume retailer Showcase Dance and Fancy Dress is looking for new owners as John and Heather Pannett plan to retire after Christmas, following almost 30 successful years in the business.

The Cheltenham-based dancewear and fancy dress shop has been a successful and popular local business since it first opened, almost 30 years ago. The hunt is now on for someone with a passion for dance and theatre to take over the business and continue its legacy.

Thanks to John and Heather’s lifelong connections within the amateur dramatic community, the shop is the first point of call for a wide range of dance and theatre schools and associations.

“We just hope that Showcase will be able to continue as we have spent the last 30 years building what is a service to a wide area,” commented John. “We are sad to finish but we are now both over 70 and it is time for the business to go forward with new and young ideas.”

Interested parties should contact Meridian Business Sales for more information.
