Business description
Unique opportunity to buy established and successful Internet Café in busy medieval town. Selling price includes spacious family appartment and separate 1-bed appartment with roof terrace.
Two distinct areas of business, one for café, one for Internet, room to expand either/both - would suit young couple or family who are looking to make THE MOVE but unsure of what to do once here. Bags of potential. Possibilty of sub-letting Internet side if desired.
Property information
- Real Estate:
- Real Property Included
- Living accommodation:
- First floor large family appartment with separate access - kitchen, bathroom, wc, large lounge/diner with magnificent stone fireplace, three bedrooms, office/fourth bedroom plus room to extend. Second floor appartment, again with separate access, kitchen, shower room, wc, lounge, bedroom and lovely south-facing roof terrace also with room to extend.
- Location:
- In centre of beautiful & busy medieval town, a "bastide", popular with tourists but with large British resident population who are well integrated and support the café all year round. Lovely and loyal French customers too!
Other information
- Expansion potential:
- Huge expansion potential!
Large space to rear of cafe could be used to extend kitchen and / or convert into outdoor seating area. Café currently seats 28 but this is very comfortable and could easily seat 80. A simple extension to the menu would have significant impact on turnover.
Internet side could be easily expanded on the 6 posts currently available - would simply require changing layout of room. Also room for additional activities with Training partner - group training using café facilities for example.
- Competition / Market:
- Competition on the café side is greater as of course there are other cafés and bars in town although still ample room for expansion (eg wider menu). We offer clean, bright, friendly atmosphere and reasonably priced all-day snack menu : panini, salads, quiche plus home-made soup and crusty bread in winter.
We are the only public Internet access in town, well signposted & well known. Whilst gites are starting to offer wifi access, we have the competitive edge as we offer scanning, faxing, printing and overall hands on support. We are also supported by a training partner to whom we sub-let an adjoining room and who provides on-site computer training (the training business is not for sale). The two complement each other and boost trade respectively. There is local IT support available if needed, alternatively, this side of the business could also be sub-let to our Training partner.
- Support & training:
- We will be staying in the area so can help with hand-over if needed. We also have a support contract with a local business for those computer problems we can't fix ourselves which would also be available to new owners.
- Reasons for selling:
- Mainly health reasons but other commitments pulling us in all directions!
- Trading hours:
- Typically 9AM-6.30PM Monday to Saturday
- Furniture / Fixtures value:
- €42,000
