INTRODUCTION
This deli/cafe is an established food venue having gained a reputation for high quality & distinctive food & drink over four years. The style and quality of the menu runs counter to the majority of local food retail businesses which serve a limited style of food – most of which is low quality and with pre-prepared meals bought in. We therefore stand out from the other cafes in the town and do not compete directly with these but have our own market and a premium price point. This offer is for the trade & assets and will include full training on the recipes and methods for our current menu.
Our menu is tried and tested – price and recipes having evolved over four years. The menu, recipes and methods are part of this sale if the purchaser would like them. The name, logo, website and Facebook page are also part of the sale.
WHY IS THIS BUSINESS BEING SOLD
The current proprietors are selling in order to pursue an exciting opportunity to create a new business abroad. To underpin this, and to avoid any future conflict, the owners will sign an undertaking not to open a new business in the area if their plans fall through.
Location & Access
The deli/cafe is situated in a beautiful historic Victorian area –just a few minutes from the main shopping malls and next to a beautiful Parish Church and gardens. The area has much natural beauty and great architecture.
We are immediately next to town’s main bus station a few minutes from both of town’s railway stations. There is plenty of parking in the immediate area with a mixture of on-street meter parking, outdoor car-parks, multi-storey car parks and disabled parking.

The purchase price includes up to 4 weeks training.
Regular inclusion in ‘in Bloom’ generating 1000’s of pounds of free high quality publicity. Sponsorship of vegan beers in the town’s massive 2011 Beer Festival generated high levels of interest.
Already agreed inclusion in the 2012 ‘Food & Drink Festival’ and anticipated further involvement in ‘in Bloom’ will generate similarly high levels of free publicity.

Assets
Conclusion
The deli/cafe represents a great investment opportunity with substantial initial returns and potential to develop the business beyond its current earning capacity.
The investment of only £TBA is likely to return a net annual profit of nearly £30, 000 as the business currently stands, however, the existing owners believe that they have not yet exploited the full potential of the business, its location and menu.
This business is active and is well poised to exploit any upturn as the economy improves.
Customer Quotes…
Just been today and it was amazing. . . Well worth the journey! ! ! I rather over did it because everything was so delicious so I am ridiculously full! ! The falafel burger was deliciously moist. . . Not dry like in other places. . . And I had the satay stir fry extra spicy. . . . Topped off with caramel soya latte and a soya strawberry milkshake with fresh strawberries. . . . And as if that wasn't enough we had two cakes, lemon and peanut butter. . . Moist, light and delish. A wonderful welcome and such a great range for us vegans. . . . . Can't praise you enough. . . . . Will spread the word! !
This Facebook page makes me hungry. . . Toast just isn't the same after seeing today's menu!
I love love love this place! ! The food is delicious and unlike anywhere else. They cater to every dietary need and have been known to rustle up things which aren't on the menu for faddy eaters, dieters and the like. There is always a very warm welcome, service with a smile. Salmon Croque Monsieur is beyond delicious, the mushroom pie is to die for, Cous Cous with vegetables. . . . Lasagne. . . . Spicy soups. . . . All too good for words. And don't get me started on the cakes! ! Add to this the fact that the coffee always hits the spot and it's clear why I never go anywhere else.
Went for a a private dinner party Friday night. . . Honestly AMAZING! I was so so impressed! Will definitely be going here more often, I'm sad I didn't know about it sooner!
The food was fantastic x
Loved it so much i went twice last week. Can't fault anything. Service is great, food is superb and the price is right. You can pop in if you are on your own, they make you feel at home and are very friendly. I recommend it to everyone.
Apple, stilton & walnut lasagne - absolutely amazing
Had lovely lasagne it was so tasty i didn’t even realise it had no meat in it ha! I will definitely be coming back to try more! !
Gordon Ramsey get to this place if you want to eat well. The food is out of this world
The friendliest place in the town! ! ! The teas are the best and the food out of this world
The deli/cafe is a rare and special place, such that we tend to be a little evangelical about it! Me and my partner try to go every Saturday for lunch and get withdrawal symptoms if we miss for a week or two! The food is gorgeous - delicious, creative vegetarian fare that is nourishing and healthy. The selection of teas is phenomenal, and, unlike so many other places, Colin is able to eloquently describe the taste and properties of such rare wonders as the beautiful lotus flower tea! The deli/cafe is also the only place I know that sells Matcha tea and that alone would keep bringing me back.
Great food and friendly service, you don't have to be a veggie to like their food!
Best food in the town. I'm not a vegetarian but their veggie breakfast is top notch!
Went today for the first time n really enjoyed it. There was a really welcoming atmosphere, had a proper cuppa tea and as I've been vegetarian for the past 15 years I found it great to be able to pick anything off the menu i wanted and know that i was ok to eat it. Loved the option of Soya milk n cream too. Will definitely be going again in the future.
Had a cheese, mushroom and onion pancake today and omg scrummy! It was super delicious!
Totally fantastic! ! The mushroom burger is my favourite along with jasmine and dragon pearl tea. . . :D Really friendly welcome. . . Can't do enough for ya! ! !
Only place in town to get a coffee that isn’t luke warm brown sluge
Great food and lovely tea. I loved the blue and black burger and the Vegan Lemon and Lime cake was delicious. We shall be back!
Mixed Nut Muffins with a Peanut Butter Icing was brilliant. Do recomend the mushroom burger with thai sauce. Who would have thought bananna's go with a burger! !
absolutely *LOVE* the deli/cafe, so much so I have reserved a day of the week as my ‘deli/cafe day' amazing food, drink and company! ! There isn't anything I've tried that I don't love
I travel 88 mile to get a cup of coffee!
Fab café, fab home cooked food with the freshest ingredients, fab hospitality. Definitely my fave cafe in town. Strongly recommend the chocolate cake.
Absolutely delicious hallgate salad nom nom ;)
The kids are still talking about the milkshakes! My rose lemonade was gorgeous. Loved the onion and leek soup too. See you again soon
Once again we had some fantastic food---and great company---worth coming from Blackpool
We called in a lunch time. Just wanted to say thanks for the wonderful food
I loved my smoothie - its best drink iv tasted in and wanted another on the way home. Jack n leon enjoyed there dandillion and burdoch slush 2
Although a green-tea person I have had previous experience of Fentiman's drinks and they are superb - esp the ginger beer. It was lovely in the garden today!
Everyone should try the new smoothies! ! I had the pineapple one and it was so refreshing!
I really liked my smoothie :) was really thick and fruity, made me feel proper rejuvenated,
orange cake and a shot of ginger really hit the spot, thanks
Only just stumbled across your place and I love what you're doing. Keep up the great work and I'll be back soon!
I was the cyclist who enjoyed a fantastic super-berry loose leaf tisane. Such a strong flavour, which I felt came from the tisane being made of whole berries etc, rather than some sawdust-tasteless powder!. | | | | | | FOR SALE | | | | | REFERENCE: | 62947 / RightBiz | | | | | | Request more information about this business.. | | ENQUIRIES: | | | | CONTACT SELLER TO GET THE SELLERS DIRECT CONTACT DETAILS AVAILABLE TO MEMBERS ONLY | | | | | | | | | | | |
