Thriving Italian Restaurant In Bedfordshire For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this thriving Italian restaurant, which was established by our client in 1982 and which is only now offered to the market due to our client's wish to retire. The business trades 6 days a week and generates a turnover in the region of £520,000 per annum with a gross profit of 65%. The restaurant offers a wide range of traditional Italian food to eat in or takeaway and a good selection of drinks. The business has a loyal customer base and enjoys much repeat trade and word of mouth recommendations. The restaurant is renowned for its homemade salad dressing and friendly service. There is a comprehensive website in place advertising the business and services provided. The premises are well-equipped to suit the trade and boast a large restaurant area with tables and chairs for up to 120 covers. There are also 2 self-contained 2-bedroom flats to the first floor, which are currently let out to generate additional income. We feel the turnover could be further increased by extending the opening hours of the restaurant and perhaps offering a delivery service. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire an already busy restaurant with huge scope for future growth. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
