Oakhouse Foods Franchise Based In The South West For Sale

Devon, UK
Asking Price:
£150,000
Turnover:
£1,520,000
Net Profit:
Undisclosed

A thriving food delivery franchise in the South West is now on the market for £150,000, and it’s brimming with potential. Serving a large, well-balanced territory with an ideal customer profile, this business has built a loyal and growing client base. It already runs with a modern, efficient set-up, yet there’s still plenty of room to grow, especially in one promising county that’s yet to be fully tapped.

Operating from its own dedicated premises, the franchise comes fully equipped with a warehouse, office, parking, cold storage, IT systems, delivery vehicles, and a committed team — all of whom will transfer with the sale under TUPE. At the helm is an experienced branch manager, ensuring day-to-day operations continue smoothly from day one.

The brand is also on the rise nationally, with the franchisor investing heavily in marketing and development. In fact, this location has recently recorded one of the strongest year-on-year increases in new customers across the network.

With a customer base weighted towards over-65s, this business sits firmly in a stable, expanding market, offering both security and growth for the future. It’s a ready-to-go, fully supported opportunity for anyone looking to step into a service-led operation with a proven track record.

Full details, including financials and territory information, are available on completion of a non-disclosure agreement.

Property Information

Property:

Leasehold

Leasehold Rent:

£29,000 per annum

Location:

The exclusive franchise territory covers a significant area of the South West, incorporating a wide range of urban, semi-rural, and rural communities. This expansive footprint offers excellent access to a core customer demographic, with many locations where home-delivered services are a relied-upon part of daily life.

Premises Details:

The business operates from a spacious and well-maintained facility in Exeter. The site comprises a ground-floor warehouse with space for two walk-in freezers, over 30 chest freezers for order picking, dedicated grocery areas, office space, and staff facilities including toilets and a kitchen. The first floor includes a manager’s office and a dedicated telesales workspace. The premises includes on-site parking for delivery vans and team vehicles. The current lease, which includes service charges, is set at £29,000 per annum and is under negotiation for renewal ahead of its expiry in August 2025. Business rates are approximately £19,000 per annum.

Business Operation

Management type:
This business has absentee ownership.
Competition / Market:

The primary competitor in this space is Wiltshire Farm Foods, which operates a similar model. However, Oakhouse Foods distinguishes itself through its service-led approach, offering assisted delivery directly into customer freezers, a flexible and friendly ordering process, and extensive menu options. A significant competitive advantage remains in its ability to forge partnerships with local referrers, such as hospitals and home care providers, a route currently underexploited but recently enabled by the recruitment of a new branch manager.

Reasons for selling:

The sale is due to the owner’s personal circumstances and offers a motivated buyer the opportunity to take over a thriving business with clear routes for future expansion and enhanced operational efficiency.
