Important Note: Only the business is for sale, NOT the property!
Unique chance to acquire a well-es business specializing in memorabilia, collectables, and antiques.
For nearly two decades, Romantiques has been more than just an antique store—it has been a living museum and a treasured destination in the heart of Hermanus. Established in 2006, it quickly outgrew its original location and, by 2011, found its home at 14 Aberdeen Street, where it continues to enchant visitors from near and far.
Stepping into Romantiques is like stepping back in time. Every shelf, every display, and every corner tell a story. From military memorabilia and vintage toys to fine china, period clothing, and rare collectibles, the carefully curated selection makes this store a true haven for collectors, history lovers, and treasure hunters alike. More than just a retail space, Romantiques offers a warm, nostalgic experience—one that keeps customers coming back time and again.
Since taking over in 2021, the current owner and his dedicated team have preserved the heart and soul of Romantiques while modernizing its operations, introducing online shopping and card payment facilities. The store has also become an entertainment and cultural hub, featuring a charming old-world theatre that hosts weekly movie nights, drawing an engaged community of visitors who love to share in the magic of the past.
Beyond its current offerings, Romantiques holds even greater potential for growth. Plans have already been drawn up for a one-of-a-kind outdoor military-themed bar, envisioned as a space where history enthusiasts and veterans can gather to share war stories over a drink—adding yet another dimension to this remarkable business.
With strong financials, an established brand, and multiple revenue streams, Romantiques is a turnkey business opportunity for anyone looking to invest in a thriving, unique, and profitable venture. Whether you are a passionate collector, a business-minded entrepreneur, or someone who appreciates the beauty of the past, this is your chance to step into a business that is as rewarding as it is successful.
