Location
The cafeteria is situated twenty yards off the main street and is only one minutes walk from four busy car parks and the bus and railway stations.
We have a very high volume of footfall due to us being on a busy pathway to the city centre.
Expansion potential
As the business is presently run on very easy hours, just 6.5 hours a day, business could be increased by opening earlier in the morning to catch people on their way to work, (building trades etc).
Also being situated in the city centre delivering menus to nearby offices and shops could increase turnover.
Competition / Market
Although there is a coffee bar nearby,(selling cappucinos, lattes, panninis etc) we are the only cafe of our kind in the vicinity.
Support & training
Vendor would be happy to assist in any training and give advice to new owners.
