Key features:
- Around £468,000 net annual turnover (~£9,000 a week)
- Run entirely under management and staff control
- Virtually rent-free — flat above let at £13,000 a year
- Three-pan central island frying range at the heart of the kitchen
- Busy main-road position opposite a national supermarket
A long-established Walsall fish & chip shop turning over around £468,000 a year (about £9,000 a week), run entirely under management and staff with very little owner input. The flat above is let separately for £13,000 a year, which all but cancels out the rent — making this effectively a rent-free chippy. Reduced for a quick sale, with clear scope for an owner-operator to push the takings further still.
Trading figures:
Net annual turnover is in the region of £468,000, equating to roughly £9,000 a week. The shop currently trades entirely under management and staff control, with very little day-to-day input from the company owner. An owner-operator stepping in hands-on would have clear scope to lift those numbers further — managed shops at this turnover level rarely match the margins of an owner-run one.
Trade equipment:
The headline piece is a three-pan central-island frying range, supported by a Chicken Express pressure fryer and three Archway kebab machines. Also included: an electronic till, electric griddle and a separate large griddle, four-pot bain-marie, large walk-in fridge and walk-in freezer, three chest freezers, fish fridge, upright drinks fridge, microwave oven, pizza machine, chipper, chip peeler, stainless-steel sink, stainless-steel extraction system with baffle filters, plentiful steel shelving, and the usual tools of the trade.
Special remarks:
An unusually strong opportunity: a chippy already producing around £468,000 a year — and doing so entirely under management and staff, with the rent effectively cancelled by the income from the flat above. For a hands-on owner-operator or capable family team, the upside on both turnover and margin is direct and measurable. The vendor has reduced the price for a quick sale, and early viewing is recommended.
