Business Description

Veritas Business Sales are delighted to offer for sale this stunning Coffee Shop & Cafe business which is located in Chipping Campden. The business has been established for 12 years and has been in the careful hands of the current owner since 2013 and is reluctantly being offered for sale due to increasing family commitments. Since ownership my client has totally refurbished and invested in new equipment along with fixtures & fittings which are all bought and paid for and included within the sale price which is a huge plus for any new purchaser as additional funds will not need to be spent for some time. The owner over sees the cafe on a part time basis and employs the help of 1 full time and 4 part time members of staff and has an annual turnover of £92,234 with a GP of £67,355 (73%). Campden Coffee Company currently has meat free menu, and includes freshly made sandwiches, salads, homemade quiche and homemade soup. All of the cakes, scones and other baked goods are also made by the owner on the premises. All can be accompanied with specialist teas, coffees, alcoholic and soft drinks. Additional services include, providing buffet lunches for tourist groups, hosting as a check point for the annual Audax cycling event, various groups meet here on a monthly basis, bespoke cake making and a there is a small area within the cafe that retails health food products. We believe that there is further potential to increase revenue by having a more hands on owner operator, expanding upon the current opening times, adding corporate lunch buffets and outside catering and launching some evening events. The business enjoys a strong reputation within the local community and beyond and as such has a high level of regular and repeat trade along with many visiting tourists. This is a superb opportunity to purchase an established business which is a great base to build upon and as such early viewing is highly recommended as this gem is not to be missed.
