Merrivale Road, Halewood, Knowsley

Citrus Commercial Circle is delighted to offer an exciting opportunity to acquire Chop & Wok, a recently established and exceptionally well-presented Chinese-style noodle and rice takeaway business situated on Merrivale Road, Liverpool.

Occupying a prominent position within an established residential neighbourhood, the business benefits from a convenient location surrounded by local housing and an existing community of potential customers.

The premises extend to approximately 800 sq ft and have recently undergone a comprehensive fit-out, providing modern, attractive and fully equipped accommodation designed specifically for takeaway and casual dining operations.

The business specialises in freshly prepared noodle and rice dishes, build-your-own meals, wings and Chinese-inspired takeaway food, offering customers collection, eat-in and delivery options, including through Uber Eats.

Internally, the customer-facing area has been finished to an impressive standard, featuring contemporary decorative finishes, feature wall designs, bamboo panelling, illuminated signage, digital menu displays and an attractive service counter. Seating is currently provided for approximately eight customers, allowing the business to accommodate both takeaway and dine-in trade.

A particular advantage is the fully equipped all-electric commercial kitchen, which benefits from stainless steel extraction, dedicated electric wok cooking stations, commercial fryers, rice cookers, refrigerated preparation counters, fridges, freezers and extensive food preparation facilities.

The modern layout and comprehensive equipment provision allow an incoming operator to continue trading without the substantial initial investment normally associated with establishing a new takeaway business.

The business currently operates seven days per week from 3:00pm until 11:00pm and is run under management, presenting considerable scope for an experienced owner-operator to become directly involved and develop the business further.

Potential growth opportunities include introducing lunchtime service, expanding the menu, increasing delivery platform coverage, developing online ordering and implementing additional local advertising and social media campaigns.

The premises benefit from rent of just £850 per calendar month, with no business rates currently reported as payable, subject to verification and the incoming occupier's eligibility.

The business is held on a 12-year lease with approximately 11.9 years remaining, offering attractive long-term security for an incoming operator. The lease is renewable, with the landlord reportedly open to discussing a longer term.

The asking price includes business goodwill, fixtures, fittings, equipment and stock, providing a comprehensive business acquisition opportunity.

The current owner is selling to concentrate on other established retail business interests.

This represents an excellent opportunity for an experienced takeaway operator, hospitality entrepreneur or existing restaurant business seeking a modern, fully equipped operation with considerable potential for future growth.

Business sale only – the freehold property is not included.
