Business Description
Veritas Business Sales are delighted to offer to the market this fully fitted, high end Vape Lounge and Dessert Café, occupying a prominent spot on the busy Mansfield Road in Nottingham (NG1), just a short walk from the city centre. Established in 2025, the business has been carefully built from the ground up by our client, who's invested heavily in every detail of the brand. Due to other business interests, they're now reluctantly offering the business for sale, creating a genuine opportunity for someone to step into a fully operational and visually impressive venue.
The premises has undertaken a complete refit, with over £140,000 spent transforming it into a sleek, ultra modern space. It comes fully equipped with top end fixtures, fittings and a unique lounge style layout that brings together a premium vape retail experience with a dessert café feel. Everything is fully owned and included within the sale price, which is a real bonus as the new owner will not need to invest funds for quite some time.
Trent Vapes & Shakes is owner operated and supported by a solid team of two full time and six part time members of staff. It's generating a strong weekly turnover of £6,700 net of VAT and has built up a big, loyal following online, with several of their dessert and shake videos going viral locally. The menu includes handcrafted milkshakes, rich desserts, fresh coffee and speciality hot drinks, all made in-house using quality ingredients. They've secured direct supply agreements with leading vape manufacturers and hold official accreditation from OXVA, including a signed certificate of approval from the chairman. This gives the business access to the latest authentic products at the best possible prices.
The business currently trades from 9am to 2am, so it picks up both daytime coffee and dessert customers as well as the late night vape crowd. There's clear room to grow by adding delivery platforms like Uber Eats or Deliveroo and franchise opportunity. The venue has also hosted successful events, including a sell out screening of the Usyk vs Dubois fight, which was sponsored by one of their vape suppliers, showing clear potential for sports nights, live music or local events.
Trent Vapes & Shakes has built up a strong reputation both on the ground and online, attracting a mix of students, professionals, dessert lovers and vape enthusiasts. This is a great opportunity to walk into a fully branded and operational business that's ready to scale, with no extra investment needed an early viewing is highly recommended.
