Business History

Meridian Business Sales takes great delight in offering for sale this long established and highly regarded fish and chip shop which has been under the careful ownership of our client for the past two years and is now only being placed on to the market due to ill health. The business is operated by our client who employs two part time staff resulting in a wage bill of approx £4000 per annum.

Our client has worked hard in developing the business and has established a loyal customer base with strong repeat business which reflects in a weekly turnover of approx £1220 per week which is achieved on only nine short opening times with 18.5 hours frying time.

The main source of income is derived form a traditional basic menu so there is huge potential to expand the menu and increase profitability. The business generates its income from a densely populated residential area with good main road passing trade and takes regular staff orders from Dewsbury District Hospital which could be further exploited by additional opening hours to take advantage of the staff change over period between 7.30-8.00pm.

Further benefit is derived from exceptionally low overheads including a lock up rent of only £90 per week and there is the opportunity to purchase the property on the next rent review date in Jan 2010.

Viewing is highly recommended and early inspection invited as businesses of this calibre rarely stay on the market for long.
