A well-established fish & chip shop in the same hands for the last eight years, turning over £4,000 to £4,500 a week on a six-day trading pattern that closes by 9.00pm. Sits on a small local parade in a residential pocket of Cheltenham with easy parking and a steady takeaway-led customer base. A genuine, reluctant retirement sale that gives a capable operator a tidy, modern shop with clear, unworked upside in later openings and a wider menu.
Trading figures:
We have been informed weekly turnover currently sits between £4,000 and £4,500, with roughly 75% of that taken across the counter and the balance through delivery. The shop trades over six days only and pulls the shutters down at 9.00pm at the latest — meaning the takings are being achieved on what is, by takeaway standards, a short trading week, with obvious headroom for an operator willing to push later evenings into the equation.
Trade equipment:
The full trade inventory is included in the sale, headed up by a Nuttall three-pan range as the centrepiece of the frying operation. Also included: a kebab machine, four-pot bain-marie, large griddle, two drinks fridges, commercial microwaves, four-burner gas hob, fish fridge, chest freezer, washing machine, double-door fridge, Bold chipper and peeler, plus the usual utensils.
Special remarks:
The vendor has owned and run the shop for the last eight years and is now selling reluctantly to retire — a straightforward, genuine reason for sale rather than a trading issue. The takings are solid for a six-day shop closing at 9.00pm, and the upside is plain to see: extending evening hours, broadening the menu and making more of the in-shop dining area are all levers a hands-on owner can pull from day one. For a capable operator looking for a tidy, modern, residentially-anchored fish & chip shop in Gloucestershire with room to grow, this one warrants a close inspection.
