A recently refurbished fish & chip takeaway in an established Coalville location, in the same hands for 38 years and offered freehold or on a new lease at a low rent. Solid, all-counter trade closing no later than 8.30pm, with a three-to-four-bedroom owner's flat above. A genuine ill-health retirement sale, with clear scope for new ownership to grow takings through deliveries, card payments and later opening.
Trading figures:
A regular high turnover, achieved entirely from counter trade with no deliveries or card payments in place. Full figures are available on request. The upside is unusually concrete: introducing home deliveries, taking card payments and trading beyond the current 8.30pm close are three separate growth levers, none of which the current owner has tapped.
Trade equipment:
A good assortment of trade equipment, headed by a two-pan frying range and including a six-pot bain-marie, kebab machine, electric till, toaster, two microwave ovens, batter mixer, fish keeper, four chest freezers and one upright freezer, four-hob gas cooker, three potato barrels, drinks fridge, Crypto chipper and peeler, stainless-steel sink unit, plenty of shelving and the usual utensils. A full trade inventory will be provided prior to completion.
Special remarks:
Our client has traded from this shop for the past 38 years and has recently spent considerably on upgrading it — new flooring, new walls and much of the machinery replaced. The sale is a genuine one: ill health and age are pushing him toward retirement, and he is keen to hand over to younger, more enthusiastic ownership. For an incoming operator, the path forward is unusually clear — introduce deliveries, add card payment facilities and trade later into the evening, and the takings should respond directly. Inspection will confirm both the standard of the recent refurbishment and the genuine nature of the sale.
