Community Public House In Runcorn Cheshire For Sale

Business description

We are pleased to offer for sale this popular community public house, which was established in 1920 and which has been in our clients' hands since 2010. The business is only now being placed on the market due to our clients' other business interests. The business generates a turnover in the region of £165,000 per annum with a gross profit of 35% derived from wet sales only. The pub also boasts 5 letting rooms. A new owner could increase turnover by extending the opening hours, promoting the letting accommodation and perhaps by introducing a web site. There is also potential to utilise the commercial kitchen and offer meals. The pub benefits from being completely free of tie. The New Devonshire hosts darts and domino teams. We are advised that a new bridge is being built in the town and that the letting rooms could be let to contractors. We feel this is an ideal opportunity to acquire a popular public house with letting rooms, with immense scope for future growth. Early viewing, arranged through Preferred Commercial is highly recommended.
