About Exceptional Subway Resale on Busy Industrial Estate, Worcestershire.
This is a great opportunity to purchase a well-established store that is recognised for its exceptional service to local customers and businesses. The store has been run by an experienced franchisee, and benefits from a loyal customer base and a growing catering business which has scope for further growth using more targeted offers towards larger corporate businesses. The store has also been very active in its local community and has supported many local charities and projects.
The store benefits from 17 free car parking spaces which are shared with the adjoining Greggs unit. There are also a further 10 industrial units on the estate which benefit from a separate car park, along with a McDonald’s Drive Through on the opposite side of the road.
The store is situated in a busy location off a main roundabout linking the town to the M40 and M42 motorways and is only a 20-minute drive from Birmingham Airport.
The store is set on two industrial estates, which cover an area in excess of 50 hectares and consist mainly of large modern industrial units. Within one mile of the site are four large housing estates. The town itself has a population estimated at 87,000 in 2023.
Recently the Subway has benefited from the construction of the 16.8 hectare Gateway project which was finalised in 2023. The Gateway project has delivered over 2,000 local jobs and includes some major employers such as Amazon. As well as Amazon, there are major employers such as Halfords, Sanctuary Group, Worcester Bosch and GKN. The town’s employment catchment area covers parts of South Birmingham, Solihull and the Black Country meaning more than 6 million people are within a commutable distance.
The store is mostly staff managed and is part of successful group of stores, with weekly sales of approximately £8,644. The store benefits from the latest Fresh Forward design, offering massive scope for a working owner to further increase turnover and profit.
