CHILDREN’S SOFT PLAY CENTRE AND CAFE in Barnoldswick for Sale.
Superbly equipped soft play centre with no local competition and a vast catchment area on both sides of the Yorkshire Lancashire border. The play centre operates from a 3,000 square foot industrial unit within a well-known business park in the centre of this east Lancashire town. The play centre is highly regarded for the size of the frame, the activities offered and the high-quality menu provided to children and parents. The cafe easily seats 50 persons and has a full 180-degree unobstructed view of the entire play area.
Our clients have operated the centre since early 2015 but are now embarking on new careers in their fields of expertise, leaving a huge opportunity for new owners to continue developing the business with a little more dedication and focus than our clients can currently offer. A small team of casual staff, plus a full-time chef will make for a trouble-free transition to new ownership. Although run on a low-key basis with short opening hours, sales turnover is growing steadily and is projected to reach £130,000 (net of VAT) for the last 12 months. A focus on promoting events, private hire for parties and after school clubs are only a handful of areas where there is a strong demand from customers and great potential to take the business to the next level.
Open plan unit with a recently inspected frame, fully refurbished in 2019. Catering kitchen, comprehensively equipped with commercial quality catering equipment. Service counter with confectionary and beverages. Customer toilets with disabled persons facilities. Stairs lead to a staff only mezzanine comprising of a staff rest room, storage room, staff WC and manager's office. The building benefits from roof mounted solar panels and dual-heating system powered using partly biomass, partly electricity, underlining the business’ green ethos toward recyclable and cheap energy.
