Very popular play centre cafe for sale on Clitheroe high street (unique concept)

A rare opportunity to own and operate a thriving family-friendly cafe in the heart of Clitheroe; with incredible growth potential, thanks to its unique concept.

Violet’s is a unique play-cafe at the heart of Clitheroe high street. 

Launched in 2021, it has quickly established itself as a family destination. The cafe is beautiful, bright and welcoming, with bifold doors that open up on to the high street.

Violet’s has an established and loyal, local customer base, many of which visit several times a week. Violet's has also built up a reputation as a family destination, with families from across Lancashire, West Yorkshire and Greater Manchester travelling to Clitheroe, specifically to visit Violet’s.

This steady customer base is enhanced further during holiday periods and weekends when Clitheroe attracts large tourist numbers.

The cafe currently has 30 covers but could fit more in with some easy changes to the layout. It also includes a play corner, prep and serving area; and a rear kitchen space.

Also included is 2 basement rooms, which are currently used as storage but could potentially be developed into something else. We had plans to develop a permanent party/craft area, play den or additional seating.

Violet's was  recently awarded a 5 star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ food hygiene rating and we receive great feedback on our menu and food.

As a high street business,  Violet's sees high footfall, and is ideally placed to benefit from events including Clitheroe Food Festival, the Ribble Valley Scooter Rally; and many other seasonal events which bring people to the high street.

We have a strong social media presence and benefit from frequent engagement with our followers which helps us to reach and secure new customers.

As a family destination, school holidays are guaranteed to be busy. Our events and craft sessions regularly sell out and our birthday parties are super popular. There is also potential for additional income streams through seasonal events, evening dining, external events and extended hours.

As a genuinely family-friendly cafe, Violet's offers a dining experience that all members of the family can enjoy, from newborns to grandparents. The unique concept sets it apart from other cafes and would be just as successful in other locations meaning the potential for growth is huge, through additional openings or a franchise model.

We would love to take Violet's forward to the next exciting stage but running the business no longer works for us a family in the long term and, so, we are looking for someone we can trust to nurture the business so that it reaches its potential.

As long as there are parents with young children, there will be a need for a business like Violet’s; and this is a fantastic opportunity for someone to take the business forward.
