This popular leasehold café and coffee shop enjoys a prime location in the historic market town of Retford. The premises have been an eatery for more than 25 years. Benefitting from two levels of indoor seating plus a large courtyard, the business draws regular repeat custom locally and further afield. Tastefully presented externally and internally, with a lovely menu and excellent reviews.
Despite a high weekly turnover there is still lots of potential; platforms such as Uber Eats for deliveries, private parties, afternoon teas and outside catering etc are yet to be explored. There is also the potential to increase the opening hours and seek an alcohol licence (which was previously granted but not applied for by the current owner). A change in the vendors circumstance presents this reluctant sale.
This is an exceptionally busy town centre café and coffee shop. Takings over June, July and August totalled £75,000. Act quickly to secure this high sales business and reap the benefits of those summer takings.
