Location
This established and highly respected Bakery is located in Atherstone, north Warwickshire. Situated on within a prominent and highly visible trading position on Long Street within the town centre. W C Masters & Son is ideally situated in the main shopping area of Atherstone, alongside other complimentary retail businesses, many of which are independents and thus benefits from high levels of footfall, regular custom and passing trade. The town is expanding with over 1,000 new homes being built which will increase footfall.
Business Description
Veritas Business Sales are privileged to offer to the market this prolific bakery which is located in Atherstone. The business has been established for 140 years and has been in the careful hands of the current owners since 1984. They are now offering the business for sale so that they can enjoy a well deserved retirement.
The business comes with all equipment along with fixtures & fittings which are all bought and paid for and included within the sale price which is a huge plus for any new purchaser as additional funds will not need to be spent for some time. W C Masters & Son is family operated with a loyal team of 5 full time & 5 part time members of staff and for year ending 30 June 2024 posted a turnover of £590,189 with a gross profit of £198,212 (34%) and an amazing net profit of £120,000. Approximately 90% of turnover is retail where they sell breads, cakes, pastries, sausage rolls, pork pies, scones, bread rolls, muffins, confectionery, crisp, snacks, hot & cold drinks, milkshakes, sandwiches and baguettes. The remaining 10% derives from wholesale where they have 3 clients.
We believe that there is potential to increase revenue should you wish by expanding on the current opening times, promote outside catering, implement a website and by increasing the wholesale side of the business. This is a fantastic opportunity to purchase a well established turnkey business which is a great base to build upon and as such early viewing is highly recommended.
