Take Away And Catering Business In County Durham For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this popular takeaway and catering business, which was established by our client in 1985 and which is only now offered to the market due to a change in our client's circumstances. The premises are very well equipped with a substantial catering kitchen and large shop area and also benefits from low rent. Our client currently offers a wide range of hot and cold snacks including hot sandwiches, jacket potatoes, pies, cakes, sweets and drinks along with a local delivery service and wholesale catering. The business currently trades seven days per week and generates a turnover in the region of £350,000 per annum with a gross profit of 40%. We feel the business could be easily run at the current pace and there is the potential to increase the income by expanding the amount of outside catering. The new owner could, if desired, establish a modest web site with information about available menus, opening hours and location, which would further enhance the business. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire a busy and profitable catering business, which is well equipped and which has further potential. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial are highly recommended.
