A company-owned, purpose-built fish & chip shop on a busy Birmingham parade, currently turning over around £4,500 a week (£235,000 a year) under full management and staff control. The let three-bedroom flat above produces roughly £13,800 a year in rent, bringing the rent-to-find down to just £70 a week. The vendor's hands-off approach has held the shop back — for a capable owner-operator, the upside is direct and obvious.
Trading figures:
Net yearly turnover sits in the region of £235,000, or about £4,500 a week, achieved entirely under management and staff control with very little input from the company owner. With a hands-on operator in place — and the scope for later trading hours noted below — the headroom is substantial. The vendor's view, which the equipment and position support, is that an experienced owner-operator could realistically treble the current take.
Trade equipment:
The frying line is built around a two-pan Preston & Thomas range with stainless-steel extraction and a steel baffle filter system. Alongside it sit three kebab machines, a pizza oven, a six-pot wet bain-marie, an electronic till, an electronic menu system and CCTV. Cold storage is generous: a large walk-in fridge, an upright double-door fridge, a fish fridge, a double fridge, three chest freezers and an upright drinks fridge. Prep is supported by a Bold potato chipper, a peeler, three potato bins and a double-drainer stainless-steel sink, with a four-hob gas cooker and microwave to round it out.
Special remarks:
A modern, purpose-built chippy that has lost direction under company ownership and is genuinely crying out for a hands-on trade builder. With the shop currently run entirely under management and staff control, an experienced owner-operator stepping in should see the obvious route to growing on the present £235,000 a year — the vendor believes the take could be trebled. The let flat above effectively neutralises most of the rent. The price has been reduced to encourage a quick sale; inspection is recommended.
