Business Overview:
Location:
The business is located in Bletchley near Milton Keynes and is situated in the center of a small parade of complimentary shops that all help to attract customers to each other. There is ample free on street parking immediately outside the shop and in the surrounding area.

Advent Business Sales is pleased to have been instructed to offer to the market this very popular and well located sandwich bar with buffet services in Bletchley, Milton Keynes.
The business, which was founded over 5 years ago, has been in the hands of the current vendors for 18 months.
They have now reluctantly decided to sell to allow them time to focus on their other business ventures.
During these 18 months, our clients have refurbished the premises, incorporating many new fixtures and fittings and new quality equipment.
The vendors pride themselves on delivering excellent service and only offer good quality food, which is freshly prepared.
The business also has a very successful delivery business and comes with a Ford Fiesta van which is refrigerated to ensure freshness at all times.
On request, outside catering for business lunches, social events and picnic lunches can be prepared.
The business is staffed by two full time members of staff and one part time, who works approximately four hours per day.
Stock at cost is in the region of £1,000.

Market Competition and Expansion:
Whilst already a very successful and profitable business, our clients believe there is still potential to increase turnover and profits further by:
Approaching additional local businesses on industrial estates to offer their buffet service.
Advertise more and do targeted leaflet drops.
Placing tables and chairs outside the shop so customers can sit and enjoy their purchases.
Working in the shop themselves and therefore reducing the existing wages. Our client works minimal hours at the moment.
Looking for new building sites as the site workers are usually good customers.
