Licensed convenience store, burgers and pizza bar in East Cambridgeshire for Sale.
Occupying a highly prominent trading position in this Cambridgeshire city, this established and profitable mixed-use business combines a nationally branded convenience store with a popular diner and takeaway. Together, they generate an impressive weekly turnover of approximately £28,000, with around £21,000 derived from the convenience store and a further £7,000 from the food operation. The property enjoys excellent visibility in the heart of the city, benefitting from steady footfall throughout the day and evening. This prime location ensures consistent trade and repeat custom from a broad demographic, ranging from commuters and families to students and tourists. The store is well-fitted with modern shelving, chillers, freezers and epos tills. The adjoining food operation occupies the rear section and trades as a casual diner and takeaway serving burgers, wraps, peri-style chicken, pizzas and sides. It operates for both dine-in and delivery customers, with listings on the major delivery platforms and a strong local following.
The business is currently operated entirely by a team of experienced staff, with the owner providing oversight and management rather than taking an active day-to-day role. This setup presents a significant opportunity for an incoming owner-operator to step in and increase profitability by reducing wage costs and exerting greater control over operations. Vendor feedback indicates that a full-time working owner could substantially improve the bottom line through closer management of labour, purchasing and stock. There remains clear potential for further growth. The fascia and location could easily support additional in-store services such as coffee, parcel collection or food-to-go counters. Similarly, the food side could expand its marketing and signage to enhance visibility, as the takeaway currently trades largely on word-of-mouth and delivery app presence rather than heavy frontage promotion. Joint marketing between the two sides of the business could further strengthen both revenue streams, particularly in the evenings.
The premises have been well maintained and fitted to a corporate standard throughout, with all necessary fixtures, fittings and catering equipment included in the sale. The store is compliant with local food hygiene requirements, having been inspected under the Food Standards Agency’s scheme, and continues to enjoy strong local recognition under both trading names. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a thriving dual-operation business in one of area’s most prominent commercial positions. The combination of a busy convenience store and a well-loved local diner offers both stability and growth potential. With weekly takings of around £28,000, a loyal customer base, and strong brand recognition, the business provides a solid foundation for continued success - and considerable upside for an involved owner looking to take a more active role.
