Undisclosed

Ready to grab a slice of a well-loved local institution? Burnetts Sandwich Co is now available for sale – a lively, long-established catering business in a high-footfall town centre location, boasting an excellent reputation, loyal customer base, and multiple income streams.

Trading for 35 years and operating from its current premises for the past five, the business benefits from a new 5-year lease, offering long-term security for the next owner.

The business specialises in freshly made sandwiches, salads, snacks, and drinks, and enjoys strong repeat custom both in-store and beyond. In addition to the shop trade, the sale includes a fully equipped catering van, which supports an established takeaway and delivery round. This round plays a key role in stock rotation and provides a reliable boost to overall profitability.

Further enhancing revenues, Burnetts Sandwich Co also provides buffet catering, including regular work for local county emergency services as well as other local clients – a proven and trusted service with scope for further growth.

The business has established a solid digital footprint, boasting over 1,300 Instagram followers and a strong local Facebook presence, providing a new owner with excellent foundations to develop online engagement and marketing further.

Trading hours are currently focused on the daytime market, leaving clear potential for expansion into evening trade, increased catering, or wider delivery operations using the existing van.

The current owner is selling due to ill health and has been open and candid about their situation. This presents a genuine and heartfelt opportunity for a new owner to take over a thriving, much-loved business and continue its proud story.

Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the scope, goodwill, and opportunity on offer.

Financial Profile

We are advised that the business achieved a turnover of £171,628, with an adjusted net profit of £14,063. These figures highlight solid performance with opportunities for growth through extended hours, delivery partnerships, or event catering.
