TOURIST TOWN CAFE AND GIFT SHOP in Derbyshire for Sale.

A long established and highly prominent cafe and gift shop, set in the heart of a popular tourist town which enjoys a colossal, all-year-around visitor count. Enviable trading position at the head of the town main street and benefitting from a corner, wrap-around profile with three, full height windows, two entrances and attractive signage.

This dual faceted business occupies the ground floor of a period Edwardian building. Outside pavement seating for customers is permitted. Separate entries to both the gift shop and the cafe, but each is accessible from within, providing an open plan arrangement for customers to freely drift between the shop and cafe. The gift shop is superbly furbished with shelving units displaying a diverse range of interesting, artisan made gifts for all tastes, from pickles, honey and coffee beans to original art, hand-crafted items and bespoke jewellery. The cafe coffee shop is a welcome rest stop for visitors and shoppers and provides hot and cold beverages, cakes and desserts. The open plan dining space comfortably accommodates 16 customers. Servery counter, food prep kitchen with ample storage. Customer WC.

Highly regarded and much loved by both its regular customers and the many day visitors and tourists that come to this very popular market town. The cafe is recognised for its range of hot drinks, light bites and sweet treats, much of which are sourced from local suppliers and producers. The coffee bar is open during shop opening hours. The gift shop is equally popular with customers looking for something a little special, sourced from independent local businesses. The website has an E-commerce facility for customers to buy goods online and this is certainly a growth opportunity for ambitious and focused new owners. Coffee shop sales average £3,000 per week excluding VAT and the gift shop retail sales average £1,000 per week excluding VAT. The business is entirely run by staff at present due to the expansion of the owner’s main business, leaving a tremendous opportunity for more hands-on owners to take this venture to its next level.
