Local farm shop with excellent potential

Atkins Farm Shop

Business for sale - has great potential with the right person. 

All the hard work has been done with this lovely business, it's ready to go to the next level with the guidance of the right buyer. Recent health issues are reason for sale and the plans are available to be handed over to the new buyers with my intended growth plans. 

Situated in an desirable location with two entrances that increase footfall from both sides - one being the plymouth city market and the other being cornwall St, surrounded by many amazing independent businesses and supported with BID membership & the added benefit of being supported by the west end plymouth company, you also have access to market facilities such as waste, wash room, toilets and both the west end company and the market keep you up to date with events and encourage you to be involved with their seasonal events. Having two entrances allows for opening outside of usual market hours. Currently we run on part time hours with just myself but with massive potential to be boosting profits with full time hours 6/7 days a week and more staff - I am willing to offer 1-1 support throughout the sale. 

We have a loyal customer base returning weekly and also attract tourists/visitors because we are selling local items made in Devon and Cornwall. 

We are advertised in the Devon and Cornwall policing handbook but the business would benefit from more advertising. 

The area is set to be boosted massively in the coming months/years due to the plans unfolding for the Colin campbell car park. The premises benefits from CCTV and roller shutter for security, electric awning, a double lock front door, a roller shutter on the market side, 2 shop signs (cheaper to just rewrap them as new last year) there is a large side glass window that is at the market entrance to encourage customer viewing, there are water and gas facilities but we have not used them and they are capped off. Electricity is £50 pm -£60 pm with a commercial supplier. Phone line is installed but not in use. There are multiple electrical sockets throughout the space,a fire extinguisher, wash room facilities and toilets within the market. The lovely market cleaners collect your waste from you at specific times throughout the day. 

The main advantage of this sale is the lease which allows for a variety of products to be sold under the purpose of a retail farm shop which includes sales of over 20 different products including indoor/outdoor plants, pies and pasties, floristry, seasonal products, local ciders and beers, craft items plus more. Customers are keen for the alcohol element to be added and pies and pasties. we currently only cover a small amount of the allowable products. we have excellent reviews and feedback and boast a 5 point hygeiene rating. 

What is included in the sale - the lease - 3 year remaining term, all fixtures and fittings, full supplier list, full contacts list, social media page with 1.4k followers, website, ongoing support from me, business plan support, financial information, email address, current stock
