A Well-Established, Award-Winning Specialist Luxury Artisan Gelato Business Situated In The South Of England
This company makes true Italian artisan gelato in all its glory. Gelato, with its exceptional consistency and flavour, has been winning hearts all around the world; however, it is not easily found outside Italy. In the UK there is abundance of ice cream manufacturers (large and small), but still few authentic Gelato outlets/makers.
Italian gelato is milkier and denser than ice cream, while containing often 50% fewer calories and much fewer fats, sugars and air, and is considered a healthy part of the Mediterranean diet.
We understand that the renewable lease will be renewed in March 2024, with a current annual rent of £9,800 plus service charges of around £3,000. The landlord will put a new lease in place for the new owner. The business rates, after small business relief, are currently £nil.
The vendor, for personal reasons, is looking for a swift sale. Their new lease allows them to give one month’s notice, enabling the gelateria to be moved to premises anywhere in the UK, and the vendor’s son, who is the main gelato maker, would be available to do the training anywhere in the UK.
According to the vendor, she confirmed that the business originally moved with its current specialist equipment from Mallorca to the UK in 2020. She says:
“When we launched [the business] on Mallorca, we created a solid reputation and a brand that is synonymous with high quality. Unbeknownst to us—and due to the cosmopolitan nature of islanders and visitors who came to our gelateria and had tried our gelato—we found ourselves featured in Hello (UK), Elle (Denmark), and the and the German press everywhere as the one thing not to miss upon visiting the island and the best gelato on the island. Of course we also appeared on countless articles in the local press (Ultima Hora, Mallorca Bulletin in English and the corresponding paper in German, Euro News, Look Mallorca magazine, and more). A brand was created!
Therefore, if it’s been easy to establish [the business] in a different country, it would be much much easier to establish it in a different region within the same country. The Awards are there and so is the online presence on many platforms through which we get destination weddings from every part of the UK.”
This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a well-established, award-winning specialist family-run luxury artisan gelato business. Having run events all the way into London, the business could be easily re-located, with the opportunity to franchise throughout the UK and beyond.
