Delicatessen For Sale

Business description

Advent Business Sales is pleased to have been instructed to offer to the market this exceptionally well established deli and coffee bar with excellent future potential.

The business, which was founded in 1952 has been in the careful hands of the current vendors for over 24 years and is only now being reluctantly offered for sale to enable them to pursue an unrelated business venture.

The deli offers a large and comprehensive product range including:
• Cheeses
• Cooked meats
• Oils, herbs and spices
• Biscuits
• Jams and marmalades
• Soft drinks
• Ice cream
• Dried convenience foods and wines

The deli has a quite outstanding sandwich and coffee bar with approximately 65 different blends including Kopi Luak, Mexican Opixaxa and Jamaican Blue Mountain to name but a few. Connoisseurs of coffee will appreciate the true quality of the fayre. They also offer approximately 18 tea types and a good home made selection of sandwiches.

The business employs 8 part time staff, who each work approximately 24 hours per week and one vendor full time. They achieve an excellent annual turnover of approximately £270,000 with a gross profit of approximately £124,000.

Stock at cost we are advised is circa £11,000.

Location:

The Deli, which is based in the West Midlands, has an excellent location on the outskirts of a city centre with high footfall levels. Major parts of the city centre have recently been redeveloped over the last few years and when it is completed the whole city centre will have an upmarket feel which will enhance the general ambience of the area.

Nearby towns include Rugby, Leamington Spa, Kenilworth, Nuneaton and Solihull. The city has excellent road links with the M1, M6, M40 and M42 motorways nearby.

Other complimentary businesses include a furniture shop, hairdressers, pub and the head office of a large insurance company.

Other information

Expansion potential:

Although the business achieves excellent annual sales, there is still a huge potential to both increase turnover and profits considerably by:
1. Converting the large first floor space to have extra café space and serve hot food
2. Offer ethnic food to the local Asian community
3. Put extra tables and chairs outside the shop to benefit from the very deep pavement, most of which is under cover
4. Have an internet site and offer the speciality coffees
5. Offer outside buffets and catering supplies to the huge number of offices nearby
6. A husband and wife team working together would substantially reduce the business wage bill

Trading hours:
