Fantastic Branded Fish And Chip Shop In Leeds For Sale

Business description

This is one of the finest examples of a fish and chip takeaway in the North of England.
Not only due to its hugely advantageous trading position, but also backed up by its large turnover which is increasing almost monthly. The business is also ran under one of Yorkshires best known fish and chip shop brands, one which is synonymous with quality and service and that has been established in the region since 1960. It also currently has 4 other large and hugely popular fish and chip shops in the region.
The current owner was invited personally by the White Rose Centre to open a fish and chip shop takeaway within the food hall, and it has flourished as expected.
The business has developed a fantastic reputation for its quality and convenience, and although ran under this brand, due to the nature of its customers, i.e. usually passersby as opposed to destination clients, it would make little difference if it was rebranded under another name.
The current owner has spend approximately £250,000 in fitting the business out to the highest of standards, with the most modern and high quality fixtures and fittings. This is easily recognised upon entering the business premises, whereby one can see the expense that the owners have gone to. In essence, other than slight depreciation, any purchaser is buying a large amount of assets and only paying the slightest amount for goodwill.
Being situated in the White Rose Shopping Centre almost guarantees a year round trade with the centre rarely having any quiet periods.
The centre can accommodate for over 4500 cars alone and attracts millions of shoppers each year.
In the food hall and emporium on the top floor of the shopping centre, the fish and chip shop and takeaway is surrounded by a number of multinational food retail brands such as McDonalds, KFC and Pizza Hut as well as Subway and Nando’s.
It is also an early testament to the success of the business that they have quickly established themselves as having the 3rd highest turnover out of all the food outlets, behind McDonalds and KFC.
The current owner does not get involved in the day to day running of the business due to other business activities; however he has established a thriving and strong staffing structure with managers and head fryers etc.
The business trades from approximately 10am-8pm Monday to Saturday, which incorporates most of the shopping centres own opening times, as well as having later openings on an ad hoc basis.
The businesses weekly takings are increasing on a regular basis and have reached up to £25,000 at its peak even in turbulent economic times.
The current owner is selling due to having other business commitments which they wish to focus on, and it is firmly believed that this is an ideal purchase for either an owner operator, or for an acquisition into a group or part ownership.
Due to this businesses exclusive location and increasingly high takings, we would recommend an early viewing.
