Business Potential

Although currently not in operation due to the current owners retiring, the shop previously traded five evenings a week (Tuesday to Saturday, 4:45pm–8:00pm), generating a weekly turnover of approximately £2,800. There is significant scope to extend trading hours and develop the business further, unlocking a strong income potential for the right buyer. With the added potential of conversation to another take-away business, such as pizza, kebab, Indian or Chinese to name a few examples.

The property has a current rateable value of £8,500 per annum, meaning it may qualify for zero business rates under small business rate relief (subject to eligibility).

Offered with no onward chain, this is a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking to take on a turnkey business in a thriving local community, with the added benefit of spacious living accommodation.
