This café bar has traded for almost six years under the present owners, and enjoys an excellent “regulars” trade, boosted by long-stay holidaymakers in winter and tourists in summer. The owners can provide provable takings in excess of €2,500 per week all year round! The business occupies a corner site in a traffic-free square, surrounded by hundreds of residential and holiday apartments, in the area of Benalmadena favoured most by the British. Its huge, sunny, 120 metre square L-shaped terrace wraps around two sides of the bar and comfortably seats over ninety at tables, some shaded by an adjustable canopy over the entrance.
Inside, the air-conditioned bar is sixty square metres and feels bright and spacious following its complete refurbishment in 2005. There is seating for 33 at tables and on stools at the bar, which itself is a modern tiled design and fitted with bottle chillers, beers on draught, a coffee machine, till and music system. Four televisions are linked to Sky and Arab satellite channels, showing all the English Premiership and international football games. The pool table and a fruit machine generate enough income to pay the rent most months!
The galley kitchen is well equipped in stainless steel throughout, with full extraction system and professional appliances to support a superb menu of “home cooking”, English breakfasts and Sunday roast lunches – a real hit with the customers. Above the bar, accessed by a staircase off the kitchen, is a very large bed-sit and full bathroom which could easily be converted to storage or somewhere for the staff to relax between shifts, if not required as accommodation. This apartment also has access to a communal swimming pool.
This business has low rent and overheads on a five year renewable lease, and has provided a very good income for the present owners. It would be ideal for a couple or family searching for a guaranteed income, and there is an experienced staff member willing to stay on under new owners, if required. This loyal manager is extremely popular with the locals, and runs the bar on a day-to-day basis allowing the present owners to take things a little easier.
