Features and description

A fantastically presented and high volume cafe/coffee shop has come to the market offering a rare opportunity to acquire a business of this ilk. The premises is situated in a fantastic trading location which is very busy, providing high levels of passing trade. The premises is fitted out to a very high standard with high quality fixtures, fittings and equipment which is all included within the sales price. Our client acquired the business in 2019 and undertook a substantial refurbishment getting the premises to the standard it is currently presented in. Very strong established turnover but still leaves scope to increase further as our client currently does not offer any delivery service which we feel would greatly increase turnover and profitability. There is further scope to increase the turnover by extending the trading days and times, with the premises being licensed for the sale of alcohol until 10.30 pm. Cost of Stock to be paid on Completion. Viewing recommended. Our ref: RX277509 - C6756E
