LICENSED CAFE, TEA ROOMS AND COCKTAIL LOUNGE in Blackpool for Sale.
An outstanding opportunity to acquire one of Blackpool's most established and successful hospitality businesses. This renowned cafe occupies a prime trading position just moments from the Promenade and the iconic Blackpool Tower, benefiting from substantial year-round footfall from both tourists and local clientele.
Having enjoyed only one change of ownership in the past 34 years, this highly regarded business has built an excellent reputation for quality food, service and customer loyalty. The cafe currently trades on very comfortable daytime hours, operating six days per week and closing at 5.30pm, offering an enviable lifestyle business with significant scope for future growth.
Weekly turnover £6,000. The current owner operates the business entirely through staff management, presenting an exciting opportunity for a more hands-on owner-operator to further enhance profitability. Considerable potential exists to extend opening hours, increase food and beverage sales, and fully exploit the extensive licensed premises.
The ground floor features an attractive glazed frontage, creating excellent visibility and a welcoming trading environment. Customer-facing facilities include refrigerated display units and a high-specification commercial coffee machine capable of producing a full range of premium speciality coffees. To the rear are well-organised preparation and dishwashing areas together with useful storage facilities.
The first floor provides a beautifully presented restaurant and cocktail lounge, complete with a feature bar and attractive dining space. This impressive area is currently underutilised and represents a significant untapped income stream. With minimal additional investment, the space could be transformed into a thriving evening bistro, restaurant, cocktail venue or private function space. To the rear is a comprehensively equipped commercial kitchen fitted to a high standard, providing ample capacity to support expanded food service operations.
The second floor comprises ladies' and gentlemen's toilet facilities together with additional storeroom accommodation.
One of the most appealing aspects of this opportunity is the substantial scope for expansion. The business currently generates excellent returns from daytime trading alone, while the largely unused first-floor restaurant and cocktail lounge offers exceptional potential to establish a lucrative evening operation. The existing alcohol licence provides the perfect platform for launching evening dining, themed events, live entertainment, private parties or cocktail evenings, significantly increasing turnover and profitability.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a long-established, highly profitable and fully licensed hospitality business in one of Blackpool's most sought-after trading locations, with considerable upside potential for an ambitious owner. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the quality of the premises, strength of trading position and exceptional growth opportunities on offer.
