Hilton Smythe are pleased to have been given the opportunity to manage the
sale of this Busy Fish and Chip shop which is an immaculate business with a
fantastic reputation amongst residents. This is a superb opportunity to take
on a high turnover local business in an area teeming with regular customers.
There has been a Fish and Chip shop at this site since the early 1960’s and
the current owner has run it successfully and lucratively for the last fifteen
years or so and it has flourished under his ownership with many, many regular
customers.
The business is now being sold, albeit reluctantly and with a heavy heart only
so that he can take a well - earned retirement and spend more time with his
grandchildren and family. He is keen to see his beloved business pass to an
ambitious and entrepreneurial new owner.
