Overview
This is a rare opportunity to acquire an established, award-winning independent artisan bakery, café and kitchen operating from two distinct and well-invested trading locations, complemented by a wholesale bakery arm. Founded in 2014, the business has spent over a decade building an outstanding reputation within its regional artisan food scene, earning recognition for its commitment to quality, sustainability and community engagement.
The business operates daily across both sites, offering a broad and carefully considered menu spanning freshly baked breads, pastries, brunch dishes and specialty coffee, alongside wholesale supply of artisan baked goods to cafés, restaurants and independent retailers across the region. A capable management team is in place across both locations, allowing the business to operate with reduced owner involvement and providing an incoming operator with a strong and experienced foundation from which to grow.
Business Highlights
- Headline turnover of approximately £1.4 million in the most recent trading year, with strong gross profit performance
- Two established trading locations, each with its own distinct character, customer base and revenue stream
- Wholesale bakery arm providing an additional and scalable income channel
- Awardwinning business with consistently high customer ratings and a social media following in excess of 25,000
- Experienced management structure in place across both sites, including dedicated managers, a head chef, head barista and head baker
- Significant investment in energysaving infrastructure, including solar panels and battery storage, delivering meaningful reductions in operating costs
- Pending planning permission for a further food and drink concession, offering tangible nearterm growth potential
Location
The business operates from two sites within the same county, one situated within a vibrant creative and independent food quarter with excellent public transport links and nearby street parking, and the other set within a popular historic parkland destination that attracts families, dog walkers and regular visitors throughout the year. The second site also operates as a concession within the VIP area of a major regional music festival, providing a high-profile seasonal revenue opportunity. The precise locations are disclosed on receipt of a signed non-disclosure agreement.
Premises & Tenure
The first site is housed within a converted warehouse space in an industrial-style setting, featuring an open-plan kitchen and bakery, courtyard seating and a fully equipped artisan production facility with state-of-the-art baking equipment requiring no capital expenditure from an incoming operator. The second site occupies a beautifully restored heritage building with indoor and outdoor terrace seating overlooking the park, and is fully operational with a café kitchen, coffee bar and bakery counter. Both premises are well-presented and viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate the quality and character of what is on offer.
