Business Description
Veritas Business Sales are privileged to offer to the market this well established licensed coffee house located within Chesterfield’s bustling town centre. The business was established in 2001 and then by our client early this year but is now being offered for sale reluctantly due to ill health, creating a genuine opportunity for a new operator.
The site has recently undergone a full redesign, with over £30,000 invested in brand new fixtures and fittings. All items are fully owned, included in the sale price which is a huge plus for any new purchaser as additional funds will not need to be spent for some time. The business is owner operated supported by a loyal team of three full-time and six part-time staff and has a strong weekly turnover. The menu offers freshly brewed coffees, speciality teas and a selection of cold drinks including beers, wines and prosecco all paired with homemade cakes, scones, light lunches and breakfasts.
There is significant potential to increase revenue by extending the current opening hours, particularly at weekends and evenings.
The owner has successfully hosted numerous private events, and the venue is ideally suited to expand on this offering. The first-floor room (complete with bar area) and the tranquil, private courtyard both provide unique spaces for functions.
The business has built a strong reputation locally and beyond which attracts a broad customer base, from loyal regulars to visitors.
This is a superb opportunity to acquire a fully operational, beautifully presented business where all the hard work has already been done, with huge potential to grow and as such early viewing is highly recommended.
