Cafe And Bistro In Raunds Northamptonshire For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this café and bistro, which was established in 2005 and which has been in our client's careful hands since 2009. The café is only now being placed on the market due to our client's wish to emigrate. The business trades 6 days a week and generates a turnover in the region of £70,000 per annum with a gross profit of 65%. Creamers Coffee House offers high quality hot and cold beverages, sandwiches, breakfasts and lunch meals. The business also opens Christmas Day serving Christmas dinner, which is very popular with locals. We feel the turnover could be further increased by establishing a delivery service to the local businesses and perhaps by embarking on a modest marketing campaign. There is scope to host functions and events and also introduce a website to advertise the business. The café benefits from an alcohol licence, which is currently not utilised. A new owner could, if desired, open the café as a restaurant and café bar in the evenings to increase the turnover further. The business has an excellent reputation and received an award from Northamptonshire Food and Drink Awards. The café is well-supported by the local community and is often referred to as 'hub of Raunds'. We have been advised that there are approximately 60 new properties planned in the area. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
