Business History
Meridian Business Sales are delighted to offer for sale this truly exceptional freehold bakery and retail shop which has a proud history dating back to 1979. Our clients are only now placing it onto the market due to their strong desires for retirement.

The business which is run and managed by our clients with the assistance of very hard working and loyal staff achieves a respectable annual turnover of £228,000 derived from offering a very fine array of in house baked breads, cakes and associated goods.

The business has always enjoyed excellent levels of repeat trade with many of the regular customers visiting for numerous years. The business also sees a good amount of new visitors from good word of mouth recommendations and from the highly visible trading location situated on the towns’ main high street.

Our clients have worked exceptionally hard to build up a good reputation and the business is renowned for the high quality of product it produces and the friendly service provided spanning the last 30 years.

This attention to detail has resulted in a very successful business which is seeing a significant growth for the first quarter of the current year. Our clients have also spent a considerable amount of money on presentation of the business and equipment which is a big plus for a new owner as additional funds will not need to be spent on modernising for the foreseeable future.

Our clients are also generously including all equipment in the sale price which is a huge advantage for a new owner as this makes the bakery a true turnkey opportunity. This is one of the most well presented and well run bakery’s Meridian Business Sales have ever had the pleasure of offering to the market and we urge early interest and viewing in this thriving business.

Location:

This superb bakery and retail shop is located in the town centre of Willenhall, West Midlands. The business is ideally situated benefiting from a consistently high footfall and good visibility. The bakery enjoys a fine selection of neighbouring commercial businesses and retailers which bring shoppers and visitors to the town throughout the year.

Situated on the main High Street which leads to car parks and traditional High Street retailers, the business boasts one of the most favoured retail locations in the area. Willenhall is a very popular business and residential location due to its fine housing, good schools and NHS services, historic attractions and neighbouring open countryside.

It lies midway between Walsall and Wolverhampton on the northern edge of the Black Country. As a town it is historically famous for the manufacture of locks and keys going back as early as 1770 when the town contained over 148 skilled locksmiths.

The towns’ coat of arms reflects the contribution and importance of this historical industry. Willenhall also benefits from being less than 2 miles away from the M6 motorway which connects to the M5, M54, M42 and M1 making travelling and commuting very easy.
