Property description
Business
Hilton Smythe is delighted to welcome to the market this well-established and busy cafe business, which is ideally located within the village of Middleton Cheney in Northamptonshire.
The business was originally established in 2013 and has been in our client’s careful ownership since 2015. Only now is the business being offered to the market, due to our client’s other business interests. The cafe currently operates 6 days per week and generates a turnover in the region of £126,000, with a gross profit of approximately 56%, as per the 2017 accounts.
Our client offers a variety of fayre including full English breakfasts, a continental breakfast, full lunch menu, a dessert menu, homemade cakes and snacks, as well as a selection of hot and cold beverages. The property boasts 95 sq. Metres of floor space, is very well maintained and decorated to a high standard. The cafe offers 26 covers and a commercial kitchen.
The business has built up an excellent reputation within the area for the very high quality of the food and service offered, which has resulted in a very loyal client base, with a high volume of repeat trade and word of mouth recommendations.
We feel there is scope to increase the turnover by extending the opening hours, perhaps by offering Sunday trading. A new owner could also embark on a modest marketing campaign to highlight the food and services offered. The cafe would also benefit from the launch of a website to promote the business. Social media websites, such as Facebook and Twitter, are also an excellent and free way to advertise the business.
This is an excellent opportunity for a new owner, perhaps a husband and wife team or partnership, to take this already popular business to the next level; therefore, early discussions with Hilton Smythe must come highly recommended to avoid disappointment.
