Business Description
Veritas Business Sales are pleased to offer this fully refurbished Sandwich Bar which is located in the heart of Retford town centre.
The premises were fully refurbished in 2025, with over £35,000 invested to create a clean, modern and highly functional trading environment. All fixtures, fittings and equipment are owned outright and included, allowing a new owner to step straight in. The business is offered for sale due to regrettable personal circumstances and is competitively priced to attract early interest.
Currently trading Tuesday to Saturday from 10:30 to 14:30, the business generates an average weekly turnover of circa £1,500. The limited hours present a clear opportunity to increase revenue. The business is owner operated with support from two part-time members of staff.
The Panini Grill offers a strong menu of freshly prepared paninis, toasted baguettes, jacket potatoes and light lunch options, alongside barista-style coffees, hot drinks, milkshakes and cold beverages. Meal deals support repeat custom and a solid average spend, with scope to improve margins.
Since opening in 2025, the business has built a loyal customer base and benefits from ongoing marketing, including social media and promotions, all included within the sale price. A key feature is the in-house digital ordering and delivery platform, due to go live shortly, providing additional revenue without reliance on third-party platforms.
Further growth is available through extended trading hours and expanding the food offering. The first floor provides additional space for seating or private hire, offering scope to increase capacity and income. There is also potential to apply for an alcohol licence. This is a genuine turnkey opportunity with clear growth potential and as such early viewing is highly recommended.
