Busy Public House In Telford Shropshire For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this busy public house, which was established in 1861 and has been in our client's careful hands since 2001. The pub is only now offered to the market due to our client's wish to retire. The business trades 7 days a week and generates a turnover in the region of £150,000 per annum with a gross profit of 50%, derived from wet sales only. The business has an enviable reputation and is renowned for its cask ales and has been in the 'CAMRA Good Beer Guide' for the last 8 years. We feel the turnover could be further increased by embarking on a modest marketing campaign and the introduction of a website. There is also the opportunity to introduce a selection of food. There is a well-presented 3-bedroom flat to the first floor, which could be used as owners' accommodation or let out generate additional income. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire an already popular public house with huge scope for future growth. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
