We are delighted to offer for sale Neptune, a thriving and well established fish and chip shop located on a busy main road in Lancaster. Situated just a short distance from Lancaster University and surrounded by a densely populated residential area, the business enjoys excellent levels of passing trade, along with a loyal and growing customer base from both local residents and the student population.
The premises are deceptively spacious and well maintained, offering a fully equipped trading area and the added benefit of generous two-bedroom family-sized living accommodation above. This makes the business an ideal opportunity for an owner operator or a family looking to combine business with comfortable on-site living.
The business currently operates on limited hours but still achieves strong and consistent weekly sales of around £6,000, demonstrating excellent profitability with scope for significant further growth. There is huge potential to increase turnover by extending trading hours, particularly on Sundays until 11pm, and by introducing online ordering and delivery services through platforms such as Just Eat, Uber Eats, and Deliveroo. Additionally, new owners could explore expanding the menu to include pizza or other fast food offerings to cater to the nearby student market.
The business premises occupies a highly visible position on a key route into the city centre and is just minutes from the M6 motorway. The surrounding area continues to grow, and with Lancaster University attracting over 15,000 students each year, the demand for quality takeaway food remains strong.
This is a genuine retirement sale, with our client wishing to pursue other business interests. A new lease will be granted upon completion, to include the commercial premises and the spacious living accommodation above.
Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the scope and potential of this exceptional business opportunity.
