Business Description
Veritas Business Sales are delighted to offer for sale this delightful Fish & Chip Takeaway which is located in Leicester. The business has been established for over 50 years and has been in the careful hands of our client for the past 31 years. They are now offering the takeaway for sale so that they can enjoy a well-deserved retirement.
Since ownership they have continually updated the premises and installed new 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. Chipstop is operated by a husband & wife team with the help of 2 part-time members of staff and has an average weekly turnover of circa £1,900. Approximately 85% is walk-in trade with the remaining 15% deriving from deliveries. They serve a fine selection of fish & chips along with southern fried chicken, burgers, pies, sausages, saveloys, kebabs, sundries, condiments and cold drinks.
We believe there is further potential to increase trade by extending the current opening times and expanding the delivery service. There is also room to increase prices as currently they are very cheap and you could also expand on the food offering and add pizzas or Indian food. The business enjoys a strong reputation within the local community and beyond and as such has a high level of regular and repeat trade along with passing trade. This is a fantastic opportunity to purchase an established business that would thrive with a new owner-operator at the helm and as such early viewing is highly recommended.
