An excellent opportunity to acquire a well-positioned and already profitable Italian café/restaurant, trading as The Apulian Corner, located on a high-visibility corner site in the heart of Shoreditch / City of London, within a short walk of Liverpool Street, Moorgate and Finsbury Square.
The business benefits from strong weekday footfall, driven by a dense concentration of offices, financial institutions and corporate headquarters, combined with a growing residential catchment. The immediate area is undergoing significant regeneration, with major office developments and refurbishments scheduled for completion over the next 1–3 years, providing clear upside in customer volumes.
The premises extend to approximately 442 sq ft and are fully fitted and ready to trade, featuring:
- Prominent corner frontage with excellent visibility
- Fully installed commercial kitchen with gas supply and extraction canopy
- Air conditioning
- Security shutters
- WC facilities
- Recently refurbished interior
- Alcohol licence in place, supporting higher average spend and extended trading opportunities
The business has been successfully trading since May 2024 and is already profitable, with clear and verifiable financial performance. It is currently operated under a streamlined model, leaving significant scope for growth through:
- Extended opening hours
- Development of alcohol-led early evening trade
- Increased takeaway and delivery
- Office catering and corporate accounts
- Private events
- Further brand and local marketing development
The lease is new and secure, offering strong protection for an incoming operator:
- 10-year lease term
- Tenant break option at year 4
- Competitive rent for this prime City location
- Class E (café/restaurant) permitted use
This opportunity would suit:
- Experienced food & beverage operators
- Owner-operators seeking a turnkey business
- Investors looking for immediate cash flow with medium-term growth potential
The business is offered for sale due to the owner’s relocation and is not related to trading performance.
