Leading Oakhouse Foods Franchise In North Midlands For Sale

Derbyshire, UK
Asking Price:
£275,000
Turnover:
£1,267,093
Net Profit:
On request

An excellent opportunity to acquire a high-performing and well-established Oakhouse Foods territory with a strong trading history, experienced team and efficient operation already in place.

Acquired as a resale in 2014, the business has developed into one of the stronger performers within the network, supported by ten established delivery rounds, excellent customer retention and a stable operational structure.

Turnover for the year ending 31 March 2026 reached £1,267,093, representing 12.4% growth on the previous year. Further income is already being generated through a new £2 per order delivery charge, introduced in May 2026, which is currently producing approximately £750–£900 per week and is not reflected in the year-end figures.

There remains plenty of scope for further growth. Local marketing has historically been limited, while vending machines are already operating within two local hospitals, with opportunities to expand this side of the business further.

The operation is well equipped, with three operational delivery vans owned outright with no finance, a fourth retained for spares, two business-owned walk-in freezers and recently upgraded office and telephone systems.
