A rare opportunity to acquire a high volume cafe in a highly desirable and affluent area. The premises has been fitted out to a very high standard with high quality fixtures, fittings and equipment throughout which are all included within the sale price. The business is long established, with our client owning and operating it for the last 19 years, bringing the business to market with a genuine reason for sale due to retirement. Our client has built up an enviable reputation over his period of ownership, supported by a 4.5 * Google review. Very strong established turnover which still leaves massive scope to increase further by extending the trading days and times, as our client currently operates 7 am till 5 pm Monday to Saturday, 8 am to 4 pm on Sunday and this premises really is suited to capture the evening trade. Our client has only just set up on Just Eat and expects as it becomes more established, that the turnover will increase significantly from its current levels. It's rare for a business with this level of turnover and in a highly desirable area like this to come to market, so an early viewing is advised. OUR REF: RX------ - C6760L
