DescriptionThis is a rare opportunity to acquire a prestigious, family-owned fish and chip shop with a rich history and an outstanding reputation. The business operates from an impressive double-unit freehold property, fully fitted to an exceptional standard with quality fixtures, fittings, and equipment. Renowned for serving some of the best fish and chips in the region, the business has won multiple awards and enjoys excellent visibility online, including a strong social media presence and over 500,000 YouTube views.
LocationYorkshire Fisheries is prominently situated on Topping Street in the heart of Blackpool, just a short walk from the iconic Blackpool Tower and other major attractions. This prime trading position benefits from high footfall from both locals and tourists, as well as proximity to the new DWP office development, which will bring thousands of workers to the area.
Internal DetailsThe premises are spacious and well-designed, offering a welcoming environment for customers. The shop has been meticulously maintained and upgraded by the current owners, ensuring a modern, efficient layout that supports high-volume trade. All equipment is of top quality, reflecting the owners’ commitment to excellence.
Fixtures & FittingsWe have been advised that the majority of the fixtures and fittings are owned outright and will be included in the sale, subject to an inventory.
Letting AccommodationThe property includes two self-contained residential flats, currently used as owner’s accommodation and for rental income. There is significant scope to convert these into holiday lets, which could substantially increase revenue given Blackpool’s popularity as a tourist destination.
Owner's AccommodationBoth apartments are well-appointed and provide comfortable living spaces. They offer flexibility for new owners, whether for personal use or as an additional income stream through short-term holiday rentals.
The OpportunityThis is an exceptional chance to acquire a thriving, award-winning business in one of the UK’s premier holiday destinations. With excellent sales and profits already achieved, and further growth potential through accommodation and online marketing, Yorkshire Fisheries represents a sound investment for an enthusiastic purchaser. Opportunities of this calibre are rare—early viewing is strongly recommended to avoid disappointment.
