External DetailsThe external seating consists of two areas, the promenade area, with a capacity of 80 covers and to the side of the building a courtyard area offering multiple seating with 2 large permanently fixed parasols with electric heaters and lighting. both these areas offer unparalleled sea views across the bay, making this a favoured spot on the promenade.
The OpportunityA unique opportunity to aquire 100% shares of a cash free, debt free, multi award winning trophy asset in a prime promenade location on the English Riviera.
The business is fully management operated and offers a genuine turnkey opportunity. With seating for around 240 customers, a high-volume takeaway trade, with future development potential through a proposed first-floor extension, the business is well placed to benefit from Torbay's ongoing regeneration programme.
Over the past five years, Pier Point has delivered consistent, year-on-year revenue growth. Although a seasonal resort, winter trade has significantly increased in recent years, and the business has proven its resilience outside the peak tourist season. This steady growth is due in part, to Torbay Council initiatives including, but not limited to, the 5 week Christmas Bay of Lights festival, which continues to draw increasing visitor numbers each year.
