Christchurch Cafe Catering Business For Sale

Business description

Phoenix are delighted to place onto the market this Café and outside catering business which was established by the owners in 1990. They now wish to sell due to retirement.The café provides breakfasts, lunches, sandwiches, hot and cold beverages and a selection of hot and cold foods to eat in or take away. All products are freshly made including cakes and bread. The business is run with the aide of 2 full time and 1 part time staff.

There is also a wholesale side to the business which provides sandwiches to local Londis shops and delicatessens. This side of the business largely consists of sandwiches and rolls with about 200 units being delivered to per day. All products are produced on site and this side of the business will double during the summer months.

There is a third part to the business which provides food and drinks on industrial sites via a refrigerated van.

These revenue streams have not been fully developed by our clients so there is huge potential to easily double turnover and profits.

Further the menu could be extended. Also the premise lends itself to be open in the evenings as a restaurant. The business is not open on Sundays and there is a demand for Sunday lunches in the area.This is an excellent opportunity to purchase a thriving concern which has immense potential in the right hands.

Our client would be available for a business familiarisation period if required.

It is within the main commercial area and is very conveniently sited opposite a pelican crossing. The area enjoys a large flow of vehicles as well as good foot flow of pedestrians. There is a residential area surrounding the premises with many flats above. In particular and of significance is a tackle shop next door which is used by numerous fishing enthusiasts and this provides huge revenue for the business. There are also several offices in the area which use the shop for lunch.
