Well Established Café And Arts Crafts Retail Business For Sale

Business description

A highly unusual, multi faceted, well established Café and Arts/Crafts retail business, occupying an enviable and quite superb main road position at the heart of what must surely be one of Sheffield’s most prestigious, affluent and sought after shopping and residential areas.

Fired Arts is a unique business, trading as a ‘Craft Café’, offering hot & cold drinks, speciality teas, coffees and cakes etc., alongside a wide range of high quality ceramics and pottery, mosaics, soaps and bath bombs for clients of all ages to decorate, design and produce on the premises.

The premises are equipped with a kiln and have the added benefit of a fully equipped first floor function room to cater for groups and parties as diverse as parent & toddler groups, childrens parties, Brownies, Guides, Cubs & Scouts, hen parties, adult workshops, team building etc. Our clients also generate incremental income by visiting various organisations such as schools, care homes, mother and toddler groups etc.

The café currently offers only a very limited menu of drinks and cakes, so there clearly exists significant potential to increase turnover with the introduction of light lunches, snacks, sandwiches and paninis etc.

Fired Arts has been run entirely under management by our client, and is now offered for sale due to her other commitments, at what we consider to be an extremely realistic price - especially when considering the already excellent profits achieved and the great future potential for the enthusiastic hands on new owner operator.
Premises: Beautifully presented and extremely well-equipped, extensively refurbished Café and retail shop, briefly comprising:
Ground Floor: Café seating area for up to 24 customers, service counter with preparation area with fridge and ‘Etna’ professional coffee machine, ‘Cromartie’ kiln, window dislplay and stock display area with shelving and racking.
First Floor: Function room with fully equipped kitchen, seating for up to 16 customers, workshop with working surface and sink, customer wc.
Second Floor: Large store room with work area and sink.
Exterior: The premises benefit from the use of a 26-vehicle car park to the rear of the premises. This is extremely unusual for Ecclesall Road, and offers a significant advantage to the new owners of the business.
Handover & Training: Our client will work with the new owners to ensure that they are fully conversant with simple processes involved within the arts and crafts aspect of the business.
The business occupies an enviable, prominent trading position amidst a wide variety of shops, bars, cafes, restaurants and other businesses at the heart of the ‘Banner Cross’ area of the city’s extremely prestigious, fashionable and cosmopolitan Ecclesall Road.
Offers: All offers are for the leasehold business, goodwill, fixtures and fittings, and should be made to this office.
