A long-established fish & chip takeaway and delivery business on a busy main-road corner roughly two miles from Leicester city centre, turning over £8,000 to £9,500 a week and closing by 9.30pm at the latest. The same family has run it for fifteen years and is now selling for retirement, leaving a modern, spacious, double-fronted unit with a new lease available and obvious headroom — Sunday trading and internal seating both untapped.
Trading figures:
Weekly turnover sits between £8,000 and £9,500, with roughly 80% taken at the counter and the remaining 20% through deliveries — a healthy split for a unit of this size. The shop is closed all day Sunday and shuts at 9.00pm Monday to Thursday and 9.30pm Friday and Saturday, so there is concrete, measurable headroom: a full Sunday trading session, later evening hours, and the option to introduce internal seating in the very large sales area.
Trade equipment:
The headline item is a three-pan Preston & Thomas counter range. Alongside it the inventory includes an electronic till, drinks cabinet, commercial oven, two kebab machines, numerous freezers, two bain-maries, microwave oven, walk-in fridge and walk-in freezer, gas hob, Kuroma pressure cooker, pie heater, potato bath, griddle, stainless-steel tables, double sink unit, extensive shelving, and a Bold chipper and peeler.
Special remarks:
Fifteen years in the same ownership and now a genuine retirement sale. The business is mostly staff-run and still turns over £8,000 to £9,500 a week — a strong base rather than a stretched one. The upside for the next owner is concrete and on the face of the listing: Sunday is closed, the sales area is large enough to take internal seating without compromising the kitchen, and the evenings finish early by takeaway standards. A capable owner-operator with fresh energy should be able to lift takings meaningfully without changing the fundamentals of what already works. A new lease is available; inspection is recommended to confirm the standard of the fit-out and the genuine nature of the sale.
