A "rage room" business where punters can relieve the stresses of day-to-day life by smashing items such as TVs, laptops and glass bottles is on the market just months after it was set up.
Smash Space UK, on Newcastle's Scotswood Road, launched last year after 23-year-old Andy Reynolds saw the opportunity to bring the concept - thought to have originated in Japan - to the city. Now he is marketing the small business with a projected turnover of £73,000 and is seeking offers over £29,995.
Buyers can get their hands on the leasehold for the four-storey premises comprising a lobby area, staff room and kit room, as well as a basement floor featuring the centre's "smash alley" along with two rage rooms and storage. On the first floor there is further office space, escape rooms and an "art launch", where visitors can throw paint balls at canvas to create their own artworks.
