A prominent corner fish & chip takeaway in Stoke-on-Trent, in the same family hands for over 41 years and now offered for sale on a genuine retirement basis. Currently turning over £4,000 to £4,500 a week on takeaway sales alone, closing at 8.30pm and operating no delivery service — two clear levers for an energetic new owner to pull. Available freehold at £285,000 or on a new lease at £99,950.
Trading figures:
Weekly turnover sits in the region of £4,000 to £4,500, all of it generated by takeaway counter sales. The shop currently shuts at 8.30pm and runs no delivery operation at all — two channels left entirely untapped that an incoming owner could open up without changing the underlying business.
Trade equipment:
The headline item is a modern four-pan Middleton frying range, supported by a substantial inventory built up over decades of trading: a six-pot bain-marie, two kebab machines, an electronic till, a large commercial gas oven, a drinks fridge, four chest freezers, two microwave ovens, a fish keeper, two chippers, two peelers, and two wheeled potato barrels.
Special remarks:
A genuine retirement sale after 41-plus years in the same family hands — the kind of provenance that's increasingly rare in this trade. The business is trading steadily within a self-imposed envelope: no late evenings, no Sundays, no deliveries. For energetic new owners willing to extend the hours and open up a delivery channel, the route to lifting turnover is direct and obvious. Available freehold at £285,000 or on a new lease at £99,950, giving buyers a choice of entry points. Inspection is strongly recommended.
