Business Description
Veritas Business sales are delighted to offer for sale this respected and well established traditional Fish & Chip shop concern. The business has been established since 1982 and has been in the careful hands of the current owner for the last 14 years and is reluctantly being offered for sale because he now wishes to relocate. Since ownership he has continually invested in new equipment, along with fixtures and fittings which are all bought and paid for and included within the sale price which means that any new purchaser will not need to spend any additional funds for some time. The business is currently owner operated, requires only 1 part time helper and has an average weekly turnover of £3,000. They serve mainly your traditional items such as fish & chips, pies, pasties, saveloy's but also offer burgers & kebabs. We believe there is further potential to increase trade by opening longer hours, opening on Sundays and maybe doing meal deals. The shop is also closed for 2 weeks in July and 2 weeks at Christmas so any new purchaser could continue to trade all year. 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 plenty of passing trade. 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 opportunity is not to be missed.
