Staff & Trading Hours

The business is run by 2 vendors on a full-time basis, with the assistance of 2 part-time/casual members of staff. 9 am to 3 pm, 7 days a week, however, as with seafront businesses, this is seasonal where certain days will open later and certain days will close earlier, weather dependent. We are advised these hours are unrestricted so it leaves massive potential for a purchaser to increase these hours, which in turn would increase the turnover.
