Business description
We are delighted to introduce to the market, Dotty's Diner which has been under the careful control of our client for the previous 2 years, and is now only offered for sale due to our clients wish to retire.
The principal activities of the business lie in the retailing of hot and cold food and drink to eat in or take away.
The business had already developed a firm base of loyal customers and as previously discussed, benefits heavily from passing trade and matchday events.
The scope for improvement with the business is vast in relation to the expansion of the current customer base from the City of Manchester Stadium, and furthermore the revising of the opening times would, inevitably, increase the turnover and profit.
