Cafe & Sandwich Bars, West Burton, North Yorkshire

SHOP AND CAFE in North Yorkshire for Sale.

Super opportunity to acquire this delightful village stores and tea room in a beautiful village close to Wensleydale, located approximately 6 miles southwest of Leyburn. This is the only general stores / off licence in the village, so enjoys a monopoly position and operates on a fantastic gross profit margin. Weekly turnover £2,000. The retail side of the business operates as a general grocery and convenience store and has a long and established trading history in the local community. In addition to the community itself, the business also serves the nearby villages, none of which has a local shop. The business would in our opinion, benefit substantially from an injection of stock. The tearoom is currently underutilised and offers tremendous potential to new hands-on owners for additional income through extending the menu, additional marketing and offering a breakfast menu throughout the main visitor season. The village receives a high number of visitors, both on day trips and those staying in rented self-catering cottages in the village and local bed and breakfasts. The area is also renowned and popular amongst walkers and cyclists who frequent the village and regularly use the local businesses. VIEWING IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and the premises briefly comprise: double-fronted retail unit with an open aspect directly facing the village green, sales shop which is very well presented and fitted and customer / staff WC. The tearoom is self-contained with direct access from the village green, although the two parts of the business have joint access internally. The tearoom is currently laid out to seat 6, however, it has previously seated double that. During its past trading activity the tea room has been used successfully for the sale of gifts, crafts and the work of local photographers and these options could be freely explored again by new owners.
