Leasehold Lakeside Café Located in Colwick Country Park, Nottingham.
Great Location. Turnover £226k Net of VAT. Off-Grid. No Rates. Low Overheads. Fantastic Reputation.
We are privileged to offer to the market this delightful lakeside café, located within the beautiful surroundings of Colwick Country Park, Nottingham. Established in 2020, Wired on Wheels has grown from a small mobile catering operation into one of Nottingham's most recognisable independent cafés. Overlooking the West Lake, the business has built a strong reputation for quality barista coffee, speciality drinks, breakfast offerings, light lunches, homemade cakes, ice creams and seasonal refreshments, attracting a loyal customer base and substantial repeat trade throughout the year. The business also benefits from a coveted 5-Star Food Hygiene Rating, reflecting the high standards maintained throughout the operation.
The current owners have continually invested in the business since inception, progressing from a mobile trailer operation to the impressive purpose-built café seen today. Significant investment has been made into the café unit, commercial catering equipment, coffee machinery, generators, refrigeration, storage facilities and supporting infrastructure, creating a highly efficient operation capable of serving large volumes of customers during peak trading periods.
The business is currently operated by a team of six staff members with director oversight and benefits from a simple and proven operating model, generating an average weekly turnover of approximately £4,700 net of VAT. Trading is focused around daytime hours, serving the thousands of visitors who enjoy the park's walking routes, cycling trails, open water swimming facilities, fishing lakes and regular community events. The recent opening of the new Waterside Bridge is expected to further increase visitor numbers by improving access from Lady Bay, West Bridgford and surrounding residential areas.
Wired on Wheels is offered for sale due to the owner's planned retirement. The business presents an excellent opportunity for an owner-operator, couple or existing hospitality operator to acquire a profitable and well-established café with clear opportunities to extend trading hours, further develop the menu offering, increase event-based trading and capitalise on one of Nottingham's most desirable leisure destinations.
This is a superb opportunity to acquire a well-established, turnkey business with a strong local following, where much of the hard work and investment has already been undertaken, providing an excellent platform for future growth. As such, early viewing is highly recommended.
