_Business_
Hilton Smythe are delighted to bring to the market The Wee Bake Shop, a
traditional sandwich bar that offers a substantial takeaway menu including the
“classic” breakfast, rolls both hot and cold, sandwiches and hot and cold
beverages.
The Wee Bake Shop is also renowned for its excellent home baking and produces
on a daily basis its own homemade pies, sausage rolls, soups and an
outstanding selection of cakes. All this has led to an enviable reputation
with many repeat customers; the business further benefits from offering a
delivery service to some of the local businesses including the local council.
The business has now been placed on the market for sale after 15 years of
ownership as our client looks to relocate.
While enjoying a good level of turnover there is scope to further increase
this by undertaking a robust marketing campaign via local press advertising,
radio adverts, the introduction of a dedicated website, use of social media,
along with a further push on event catering for parties, functions etc and
reviewing the opening hours to accommodate weekend trade.
A genuine opportunity to acquire a thriving, well run business. Early viewing
comes highly recommended.
