Key features:
- Around £2,300 weekly turnover on a 5-day, early-finish pattern
- New lease available on completion
- 3-pan Hopkins range already in place
- Sub-let for years — clear scope for owner-operator uplift
- Free car park to the rear plus on-street parking
A long-established conventional fish & chip takeaway in Birstall, currently turning over around £2,300 a week on just five days with no late openings and no delivery — the business has been sub-let for a number of years and is plodding along well below its potential. Offered with a new lease and priced for a quick sale at £19,950, this is a straightforward entry point for a newcomer or trade-builder willing to put the hours back in. Serious offers are invited.
Trading figures:
Current takings are reported in the region of £2,300 per week, achieved over just five trading days with no home deliveries and no late evening openings. The business has been sub-let for a number of years, so the figure reflects an absentee operation rather than what the unit is capable of — there is ample scope for direct owner involvement to lift sales meaningfully.
Trade equipment:
The headline item is a 3-pan Hopkins frying range — the standard British fish & chip operators tend to want — sitting front of counter. Also included are a fish keeper, electric till, chest freezer, microwave oven, upright drinks chiller, stainless-steel preparation table and twin sink unit, large hot water boiler, chipper and peeler, plus the usual utensils. A full inventory will be available prior to completion.
Special remarks:
An honest, plain-spoken opportunity. The shop is plodding along and under-achieving because it has been sub-let for a number of years — the catchment, the position and the kit are all in place, the hours and the hands-on attention are not. A capable owner-operator who trades the additional sessions, extends the evening finish, and introduces a home delivery service should see a direct uplift on the current £2,300 weekly figure. Equally suited to a newcomer cutting their teeth or to conversion to another catering use. Priced at £19,950 for a quick sale, with serious offers invited.
