Well Established Fully Fitted Dessert & Coffee Shop in Prime Town Centre Location

 A superb opportunity to acquire an established trading dessert shop, situated in a prime town centre location with high footfall. Established in 2020, the business has already built a strong reputation in the area for its quality desserts and excellent service. With its enviable position, the shop benefits from being in front of a newly completed square that attracts various events and cultural activities, which consistently draw new customers.

Refurbished to a high standard, the premises are fully equipped to the trade- no expense has been spared in this regard. There are currently 30 covers in store for customers to dine in. Further seating is available outside the front of the premises. The business offers further potential for a new hands on operator to develop a daytime trade by offering a light bites menu or creating a coffee and cake vibe.

The business currently operates Tuesday to Sunday from 4:30pm until 10:00pm and is closed on Mondays to suit the current owners other business commitments. There is potential to trade 7 days a week if desired. The business derives its's income from footfall in the town centre, alongside online delivery platforms such as Just Eat & Uber Eats, as well as it's own website. Currently the split is approx 70% deliveries and 30% in-store.

Uniquely, this business faces no competition in its immediate vicinity and is surrounded by national retailers including CoOp Food, Well Pharmacy, William Hill, Barnados and Hays Travel.

In 2024, the business operated on a 5 day trading week to suit the current owners other business commitments and achieved a healthy turnover of £167,124, producing a net profit of £17,620 on trading just 27.5 hours a week. Now reluctantly offered for sale due to the vendors increasing commitments with her cleaning business, the business offers a wealth of potential for a new hands on operator to take the business to the next level with new creative menu ideas, promotions, social media advertising and increasing the stores current opening hours.  The store has a pool of part time staff who can be transferred with the business if desired.

The purchase price of £19,950 includes the goodwill and all fixtures and fittings, providing the new owner with a fully operational setup. The premises are held on a 9 year lease with 7 years unexpired at an annual rent of £9,000 per annum (payable monthly in advance). The landlord will consider alternative use, subject to gaining the necessary consents.
