Business History
Meridian Business Sales are delighted to bring to the market this excellent local fish and chip shop which has been in the careful hands of our clients since 1991. The only reason this rare opportunity is being offered to the market is our clients unfortunate ill health. Recently they have informed us that due to their ill health, they have been unable to run the business to it's full potential, however they have maintained a steady stream of regular customers and as demand is high for the services of this business, a new hands on owner would be able to increase trade in a relatively short period of time. The business is in a full walk-in condition allowing you to trade from day one. There is also the opportunity to develop the trade with the numerous local holiday parks and caravan sites. Our clients advise us that turnover at the end of 2010 ran at £85,000 with a gross profit of £50,000 which is derived from the sale of traditional style fish and chip products, confectionery and soft drinks. There is massive scope to increase the turnover by extending the opening hours as currently they only open in the evenings 6 days a week and 5 lunch times.
