HANDMADE CHOCOLATES AND CAFE in Retford for Sale.

Ernest Wilson are delighted to bring to market this long established and immaculately presented handmade chocolates and cafe. The business was established by our father and daughter client in 2007 during which time it has developed a strong reputation and loyal customer base, supplying products across the UK. Only retirement forces this reluctant sale, presenting a wonderful opportunity for enthusiastic new owners to take the helm and build on the solid foundations here. The business trades in very limited hours over only four days and provides fantastic potential to increase trading times and significantly boost turnover (currently £2,600 to £2,700 per week). There is a professional website already active which generates additional income. The premises occupy a prime trading position within the heart of this bustling market town, high footfall area only a short walk from one of the town’s public car park. Our client owns the freehold property and will offer the premises on a new lease with sensible rent for such a prominent trading position. Premises briefly comprise glass fronted sales shop leading to spacious retail area featuring impressive displays and serve-over counter, recently added gelato refrigerated display counter. Coffee shop area seating 16 to 20 in comfort, kitchen and customer WC. First floor provides a spacious open plan kitchen and food preparation area where over 95% of the business stock is produced, featuring an array of quality baking and catering equipment. Dry store room, pot wash area and staff WC. Externally there is a space of land adjacent where outside tables are placed. The premises have previously held a pavement licence which has since lapsed but could be reinstated by new owners if so required (subject to any necessary consents).
