Exceptional and unique freehold fish and chip shop with average sales of £7,500 per week from just 3 days of trading, closing at 6:30 pm latest and just 21 hours frying a week. The business opens only 40 weeks a year. Any trial is offered to genuine buyers. A two-bedroom family home is included above. Genuine retirement sale after nearly 40 years.
Trading figures:
We are advised that weekly gross takings average £7,500 per week, achieved from a traditional, very limited menu and amazingly from just a three-day week with only 21 hours frying. The business closes at 6:30 pm. There is unbelievable future potential to double the present weekly takings if normal trading days and hours were implemented. Just imagine running this very profitable Chippy whilst enjoying the benefit of 4 days off a week.
Trade equipment:
Excellent array of quality equipment, headed by the Hopkins 4-pan wall frying range, two chippers and two peelers, an 8-tray fish fridge, Hopkins batter mixer, 3 large chest deep freezers, upright fridge, 4-ring gas oven, illuminated menu board, upright drinks chiller, 4-pot bain-marie, and a 3-camera CCTV system. A full inventory will be provided prior to completion.
Special remarks:
A rare freehold business opportunity to purchase this thriving, busy, purpose-built Chippy, offered due to the owner's pending retirement after 39 successful years of running this amazing fish and chip shop. It is rare to find a business of this type trading just three days per week, with only 21 hours of frying, and closing at 6:30 pm latest. In addition, the business only trades for 40 weeks a year, again offering an excellent lifestyle balance. There is outstanding potential for further growth, particularly for an experienced operator willing to open at lunchtimes and introduce a delivery service. This is not a freehold business for the faint-hearted but is certainly for a bargain hunter or trade builder. Good Friday week achieved sales in excess of £10,000 p.w. The owner will allow a one-week trial to confirm takings and will provide advice during the transition period. Urgent viewing is recommended.
