Business Description
Veritas Business Sales are delighted to offer for sale this highly regarded and long established Fish & Chip Takeaway, occupying a prominent trading position within the sought after Nottinghamshire village of Burton Joyce.
Established by the current owner in 2000, the business has been successfully owner operated for the past 26 years and is now being reluctantly offered for sale due to ill health.
During her ownership, considerable investment has been made into the business, including replacement equipment, fixtures and fittings, all of which are owned outright and included within the sale price. More recently, the premises have been completely rewired at a cost of in excess of £3,000, meaning a new owner can take over with the confidence that no significant capital expenditure should be required for the foreseeable future.
BJ's Fish Bar is owner operated with the support of 2 full-time and 4 part-time members of staff. The business generates an average weekly turnover of approximately £5,000 including VAT, with 100% of sales generated from walk-in customers, demonstrating the strength of its loyal and established customer base. Full financial information will be made available to genuinely interested parties following a viewing.
The business serves an extensive range of traditional fish and chips together with kebabs, burgers, sausages, southern fried chicken, children's meals, vegetarian options, side orders and soft drinks, all prepared to a consistently high standard.
There remains excellent scope to increase turnover. The business currently trades relatively limited opening hours and has never utilised online delivery platforms. There is also potential to introduce lunchtime deliveries to local businesses, together with evening deliveries via Just Eat, Uber Eats and Deliveroo. Introducing pizzas and other complementary menu items would provide a further opportunity to increase average transaction values.
BJ's Fish Bar enjoys an excellent reputation throughout Burton Joyce and the surrounding villages, benefiting from a high level of repeat and regular trade built up over more than two decades. With the nearest competing fish and chip shop located approximately three miles away, together with several substantial new housing developments on the outskirts of the village, the business is perfectly positioned to benefit from further population growth and increased customer demand.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a profitable, fully equipped and highly respected fish and chip takeaway with genuine potential for future growth. Early viewing is highly recommended.
