***Potential development opportunity for 2 town houses***
***Serious offers will be considered***
Hilton Smythe is delighted to introduce to the market Paul Saywell Butchers.
This family run traditional butchers was originally founded by our clients
some 40 years ago and has an enviable reputation for quality produce and
friendly service and is very well supported by the local community.
The butchers is a good size and fully equipped to suit the trade. Revenue is
derived from the sale of quality fresh produce, supplied from reputable
sources. The business sells a great selection of meats, cooked meats,
speciality packs for events such as barbeques, a range of seasoned sausages
and burgers all prepared in - house. The business sees a lot of repeat trade in
addition to passing trade and reports a healthy turnover of just over £100, 000
for this financial year with a gross profit at 33%.
To the rear of the butchers is a fully equipped bake - house, currently not used
due to our client’s unfortunate ill health, but could very easily be
reinstated by the new owner to produce pies and pastries and other bakery
products to increase revenue. In addition opening hours could be extended to
attract further custom.
The business is complete with substantial living accommodation offering 3
double bedrooms, making this an ideal acquisition for a couple or family
looking to continue this long established and reputable concern in this highly
desirable location.
