Cafe & Sandwich Bars, West Yorkshire

CLOSED SANDWICH BAR AND CAFE in Wakefield for Sale.

An excellent opportunity has arisen to acquire this superbly presented and immaculately maintained, fully equipped cafe and sandwich bar premises, ideally situated in a busy and well-established city centre trading position. The property benefits from high footfall and is surrounded by thousands of office workers, retailers, and shoppers throughout the day, ensuring a massive built-in audience for an incoming operator. This superb trading position is further enhanced by convenient roadside parking immediately to the front of the premises, providing effortless access for both regular and passing trade.

Although the business has recently closed due to our client’s young family commitments, the premises offer a true turnkey opportunity for a motivated buyer. Historically, the cafe built an excellent local reputation for high-quality products and service while operating on sensible, manageable daytime hours just six days per week. Because the premises are fully fitted and ready to trade, an experienced operator or first-time buyer can launch immediately without the heavy capital expenditure usually associated with a new fit-out.

The closure leaves significant untapped potential and presents a blank canvas to build a highly profitable operation. There is clear scope to vastly increase turnover beyond historical levels by extending opening hours, particularly by launching an early 7.30am opening to capture the lucrative breakfast and early-morning commuter trade which was previously underexploited. Furthermore, introducing a dedicated evening trade, expanding the takeaway menu, establishing delivery partnerships, and implementing a robust local marketing campaign would allow a new owner to fully capitalise on this prime location.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a pristine, well-located food and beverage asset in the heart of the city centre, suitable for a wide range of catering concepts. Viewing here comes highly recommended to fully appreciate the standard of the fixtures, fittings, and the undeniable location on offer.

The premises are held on a secure lease at a very reasonable rental level and comprise a well-presented, open-plan cafe area providing seating for 13 covers. This attractive customer space incorporates a servery fitted with a two-station Expobar coffee machine. To the rear is a well-equipped kitchen, offering a comprehensive range of quality catering equipment, together with a useful basement storeroom. The premises are further complemented by staff WC facilities and a wash hand basin. EPC Band C.
