Business Overview:
The Business:
Advent Business Sales have been instructed to offer for sale this well established café and takeaway business.
The business was established in 1998 and acquired by the current vendor in 2004. The vendor has reluctantly decided to sell in order to focus on another business venture.
These ground floor premises consist of a main café area with seating for 32 with a further 8 outside.
The café offers an extensive range of hot and cold foods from early morning breakfasts to jacket potatoes and sandwiches.
Our client is also well known for her home-made cakes, which has proved to be very popular.
Sales are split between passing and regular trade as well as from local businesses.
Takeaway and delivery are equally popular and the latter is an area of growth and expansion.
Also included in the asking price is an 05 plate fiat doblo.
The business is staffed by the vendor and her husband as well as two part time staff.
Since acquiring the business, the vendor has spent a great deal of time, effort and finances to ensure the business is recognized and rewarded for its efforts.
