Profitable Village Butchers In Hatfield Broad Oak Hertfordshire For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is pleased to offer for sale this popular village butchers, which was established in 1953 and which has been in or clients' hands since 2001. The business is only now being placed on the market due to our clients' wish to retire. The business operates as a traditional family butcher's and generates a turnover in the region of £185,000 per annum with a gross profit of 50%. The property is well equipped to suit the trade and we are advised that there is a small van included in the sale. A new owner could increase turnover by perhaps extending the opening hours and marketing to pubs and restaurant in the surrounding areas. The business is well-supported within the community and benefits from much regular repeat trade. We feel this represents an ideal opportunity to acquire a traditional family butcher's situated in such an idyllic location. Early viewing must come highly recommended.
