* Leasehold
A superbly - fitted cafe/coffee shop which trades from a busy main road
position, opposite a popular recreational facility and within close proximity
to schools. The business has been long established as a cafe/coffee house in
the area, with our client purchasing the business over 3 years ago. After
purchasing, our client then undertook a substantial refurbishment of the
premises and has now brought the business to market with a genuine reason for
sale due to their other business commitments. They specialise in freshly made -
to - order sandwiches, nutritious salads, buttery jacket spuds and home - made
soups plus so much more. They also have a wide selection of vegan and
vegetarian options available. Our client has built up an enviable reputation
in the area supported by a 4. 3* google rating and a 4. 7* facebook rating. Very
strong established turnover based on the most recent profit & loss account,
however, the business still leaves huge scope to increase this further by
increasing the trading hours, as our client currently only opens until 3. 30
pm, but is licenced for the sale of alcohol up until 11pm. Viewing recommended
