Key features:
- £3,500–£4,000 weekly takings on a traditional menu
- Same ownership for the past 16 years
- Prominent corner parade pitch next to Co-Op
- Closes 7.00pm, no deliveries — clear scope to extend
- Martyn Edwards 3-pan counter range
A traditional Leeds fish & chip takeaway in the same family hands for the past sixteen years, taking £3,500 to £4,000 a week on a deliberately simple menu, no deliveries, and a 7.00pm closing time. The shop sits on a busy main road in a four-unit parade next to a Co-Op, with a long-established reputation for repeat trade. Sale forced by the owner's health — and a clear runway for an incoming operator to extend hours, add deliveries and broaden the menu.
Trading figures:
We are advised weekly takings sit between £3,500 and £4,000, with excellent gross profit margins drawn from a simple traditional menu and no delivery operation. The headroom is concrete rather than theoretical: there is no home delivery service in place, the shop is shut all day Sunday, closes at 3.00pm on Saturdays and at 7.00pm on weekday evenings — and the menu has scope to broaden into pies, steak puddings and fried chicken. Each of those is a lever the next owner can pull.
Trade equipment:
The hero piece is a Martyn Edwards 3-pan counter range, supported by a 28lb rumbler, chipper, stainless-steel potato bath, fat filter, four-tray fish fridge, five-pot bain-marie with pudding steamer, electric batter mixer, two-ring electric portable table-top hob, chest freezer, illuminated menu board, drinks chiller, stainless-steel double sink and tables. A full inventory will be provided prior to completion.
Special remarks:
An unexpected opportunity created by the owner's health, after sixteen years in the same hands. What the buyer inherits is a profitable, well-regarded traditional shop with strong repeat custom, a sensible cost base and a prime parade pitch — and a list of obvious growth levers (deliveries, later openings, a broader menu) that the current owner has chosen not to pursue. A solid base to build upon, as inspection will make clear.
