Business for Sale Overview:
Established in 1999 in an area with a large Muslim community, this convenience store and Halal Meat Center has become the destination of choice of a large number of that community and in the process has become extremely busy and highly profitable. So much so that the current owner is now finding difficulty coping with this business and with his family and, as such, has now decided to sell this highly lucrative business, in order to cope with his family commitments.
The word 'halal' literally means permissible- and in translation it is usually used as lawful. The Halal food Authority rules for halal are based on Islamic Shariah. It is well known in the meat trade that Muslims consume halal meat. Now to make meat halal or permissible, an animal or poultry has to be slaughtered in a ritual way known as Zibah.

Property Features and Assets:
Occupying two shop units that have been professionally converted into one large retail sales area this business also benefits from a large covered pavement frontage, used for the display of goods with a driveway at the rear giving access for all deliveries.
With a prominent location on the corner of an extremely busy road, (one of the busiest in Southampton, outside of the city center), in a large ethnic area means this shop benefits from lots of passing traffic, both foot and vehicular. There is lots of free parking available locally.
With a new lease available at reasonable and affordable rates means this will always be a highly desirable retail unit.
Market Competition and Expansion:
There is currently no advertising or marketing, however strong word of mouth recommendation is key to the success of this business. With a more focused approach to sales and marketing there is little doubt that significant growth could easily be established.
Also the business does not have a web presence and there is no doubt that turnover and profits could increase using this additional medium. A professionally designed website could allow potential customers to find this specialist convenience store and halal meat center and give excellent potential to increase the turnover in the future.
Reason for Selling:
family commitments.
