Your expert business property advisers
Located within Central Arcade in the city of Newcastle, J. G. Windows Ltd is a music icon in the Northeast, and has links to many famous musicians, many of whom regularly visit. The store stocks and sells all musical instruments, from woodwind and brass to keyboards, folk instruments and drums, as well as sheet music and recorded music on vinyl, DVD and CD.
Established in 1908, the Windows family ran the business for almost 100 years before privately selling the company in 2006. The store offers 15,000 sq ft of trading space and showrooms, as well as considerable scope to rapidly grow the online business. The store is one of only a few key Yamaha agents in the country and has a bespoke EPOS stock ordering system. Since 2020 J. G. Windows Ltd has also been home to a new city centre music academy with tuition rooms.
Situated moments from the famous Grey’s Monument and 50 metres from Monument Metro Station, the store is a prime opportunity for investment. The business closed on Friday 29th November and subsequently received an outpouring of love and support across social media and among the music community of the Northeast.
Offers are being invited for the leasehold interest and/or the name, website, i.p. goodwill and stock, with interest from all sources including non-music related retail welcome.
Andrew Birnie, Director – Retail at Christie & Co, said: “No one could have missed the vast amount of support for this business across social media and in the press recently. We are already taking enquiries and hope someone will come forward to take it to the next level - a new generation store, perhaps taking up less space than the existing units and focussing more on online sales. Enquiries are welcome.”
