Location

Chatham is a town within the county of Kent. The town forms a conurbation with neighbouring towns Gillingham, Rochester, Strood and Rainham. The site’s trade is derived from both the local residents of Chatham and a number of affluent surrounding villages, as well as passing traffic from the main road network.

The site is located a short distance from the town centre and close to the main roads of the A2 and A230. The site is opposite a large sixth form collage and close to a local grammar school.

Fixtures & Fittings

We are advised that all fixtures and fittings are included in the sale subject to an inventory, with the exception of any items that are on free loan for promotional purposes.

The Opportunity

The business and property have just been refurbished and renovated at great cost. The business should now require minimal investment for the next operator. It is only now being sold due to our client’s change in business strategy.

The site benefits from a five-year Texaco supply agreement which commenced on October 2024.
