A fully detached fish & chip and hot food takeaway about two miles from Preston city centre, currently turning over £8,000 to £10,000 a week including a small delivery operation. The same family has held this shop for over 34 years and in the last century it has changed hands only four times — a genuine local institution. Now offered with a new lease and a quick sale is required due to the owner's health, with a trial available to a serious buyer.
Trading figures:
We are informed weekly takings sit between £8,000 and £10,000, including a minimum of deliveries, and the figures hold up steadily across the year — supported by five major gala events that lift trade further. There is also a small empty unit next door, owned by the vendor, which could be brought into use as a pizza or burger bar to widen the offer; it would be available by separate negotiation on additional rent.
Trade equipment:
The headline item is a two-pan counter range with full service history, supported by a Bold 56lb rumbler and chipper in the wet room. Also included: a large stainless-steel bath, fat filter, combined six-pot bain-marie with pudding steamer, electric till, two kebab machines under their own overhead extraction filter, four preparation tables, an upright drinks chiller, two microwave ovens, a six-ring gas oven, batter mixer, large double-door fridge, two upright freezers, two toasters, and a fish fridge. A full inventory will be provided prior to completion.
Special remarks:
This iconic and extremely popular fish & chip shop, in the same family's hands for over 34 years and something of an institution in the area, is now offered for sale. The reputation is genuine, the customer base is loyal, and trade is lifted further by five major gala events through the year. The sale is forced by the owner's health, and the price has been reduced accordingly for a quick deal — a trial is offered to a serious buyer. For an experienced operator, this is a chance to take a long-standing concern to its next level on day one rather than build a reputation from scratch.
