Business Details
Established Independent Sandwich Shop & Catering Business – Ipswich Town Centre
A rare opportunity to take over a successful, well-loved independent sandwich shop on St Nicholas Street, Ipswich. After building up a loyal customer base and a solid local reputation, the business is now being offered for sale due to genuine personal health reasons. This makes it a completely ready-to-go, turnkey opportunity for the right operators.
Important Operational Note: Due to the steady volume of daily counter trade and our regular corporate catering contracts, this busy operation requires two full-time operators to run smoothly. It is strictly suited for an experienced catering partnership, a couple, or two business partners looking to step into a proven setup together.
📊 Quick Facts
- Proven Revenue: Consistent £140,000 annual turnover with demonstrated year-on-year growth.
- Secure Brand-New Lease: Landlord fully prepared to grant a brand-new commercial lease directly to the incoming buyer for complete long-term security.
- The Perfect Work-Life Balance: Trading Monday to Friday only. No late nights, no bank holidays, and every single weekend completely your own.
- Dual Income Streams: Busy daily counter trade paired with a network of established corporate catering accounts (regular invoiced office clients).
- Premium Turnkey Setup: Sale includes all fixtures, fittings, asset lists, and premium commercial kitchen equipment (including a high-speed Merrychef oven).
🚀 Immediate Expansion Potential
While the business already provides a stable full-time living, we have deliberately chosen to limit our trading hours. New owners could easily scale the revenue by exploring these ready-to-go growth angles:
- Capitalise on the Halo HQ Move: The shop is ideally positioned to capture a wave of new town-centre lunch trade as tech firm Halo moves its global headquarters into the nearby Willis Building, bringing hundreds of new office workers right to the area.
- Exploit Match Day Football Traffic: We choose to stay closed on weekends, but a new owner could boost weekly takings by opening on Saturdays for Ipswich Town FC home games. The shop sits on a natural footfall route heading down toward Portman Road.
- Expand the Corporate Catering Pipeline: The incoming operators can actively market to the surrounding tech and professional firms to grow the existing corporate contract portfolio.
Everything is set up and running smoothly, waiting for experienced operators to step straight in, take the keys, and drive it forward. Full financial details and accounts will be shared with verified applicants.
Asking Price: £49,500 (New Lease, Asset and goodwill sale)
