THE BUSINESS ITSELF
The business has been in the family for many years and as such is now a mainstay of the local community particularly given it’s ideal location on the high street.
As well as the retail side, the business also enjoys a good level of catering sales to local hotels, pubs, takeaway vans and similar. This gives the business good diversification and there would appear to be scope to extend this further if so wished.
The business benefits from a significant turnover with a profit margin to match which has been enjoyed at a regular level for many years. The rent currently being received from the apartment above further adds to this, although a new owner may of course prefer to utilise the property for their own personal use. There is also a refrigerated sign-written van included with the sale to aid deliveries to the catering customers.
