Key features:
- Around £12,500 weekly turnover, circa £645,000 a year
- Run entirely under management and staff control
- Five successful trading years, genuine sale
- Long secure lease at £13,500 per annum
- Purpose-built modern shop on a busy main road
A modern, purpose-built fish & chip shop in Bilston turning over around £12,500 a week — roughly £645,000 a year — currently run entirely under management with very little input from the company owner. Five successful trading years are behind it, the lease is long and secure at £13,500 a year, and the shop has been reduced for a quick sale. For a hands-on family team, the headroom over the existing managed takings is the obvious prize.
Trading figures:
Net yearly turnover sits in the region of £645,000 — about £12,500 a week — and is being achieved under complete management and staff control, with very little input from the company owner. Owner-run shops at this level of takings typically earn materially better margins than fully-managed ones, and that gap is the clearest route to upside here.
Trade equipment:
The headline item is a three-pan Preston frying range, supported by three Archway kebab machines and a pizza oven and pizza machine that broaden the menu well beyond a standard chippy. Also included: filter extraction system, stainless-steel extraction system, electronic till, CCTV, electronic menu system, large griddle, six-pot and three-pot bain-maries, two large walk-in fridges, double fridge, drinks fridge, fish fridge, three chest freezers, commercial four-hob gas cooker, microwave, double-drainer stainless-steel sink, potato chipper and peeler, ample shelving and the usual trade utensils.
Special remarks:
A genuinely high-turnover chippy producing around £645,000 a year — about £12,500 a week — and doing so entirely through management and staff. Five trading years are on the clock, the fit-out is modern and immaculate, and the lease is long and secure at £13,500 per annum. The shop has been reduced for a quick sale. For an owner-operator or family team prepared to put hands on the business, the upside over the existing managed takings is the obvious opportunity. Inspection is invited.
