Thriving Butchers Shop In Eastbourne East Sussex For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this thriving butchers shop, which was established by our clients in 2009 and which is only now offered to the market due to our clients' wish to retire. The business trades 5 days a week and generates a turnover in the region of £161,000 per annum with a gross profit of 50%. The butchers shop offers an extensive range of local fresh Sussex meat, sausages and pies. We feel the turnover could be further increased by embarking on a modest marketing campaign and perhaps introducing a wider range of products. The business has a loyal customer base and enjoys much repeat trade and word of mouth recommendations. The butchers shop also supplies a range of businesses, including market stalls, pubs and hotels. There is a website in place advertising the business and services provided. There is scope to introduce online ordering facilities. The premises boast a spacious retail area and a large preparation area. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire an already busy butchers shop with huge scope for future growth. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
