Fish and Chip Shop with Living Accommodation For Sale Eccles Greater Manchester

Our client has successfully operated this profitable business for over 30 years and is now looking to sell due to impending retirement.

The business is ideally located just off the main high street, adjacent to the Eccles Interchange. This transport hub features buses arriving and departing every 10 minutes, along with a bus station and a single-platform Metrolink light rail station, which serves as the terminus of the system’s Eccles Line. Opened on 21 July 2000, the interchange is approximately 300 meters away from Eccles railway station.

The area is bustling and densely populated, with a diverse mix of trade from locals and numerous commercial businesses nearby. The shop is a customer favourite, renowned for its freshly prepared fish and chips made from the finest quality ingredients.

There is significant potential for new owners to increase sales by introducing a delivery service and extending the takeaway opening hours to include breakfast and evening trade. The current trading hours are Monday to Thursday from 11:00 to 18:00, Friday from 11:00 to 18:30, and Saturday from 11:00 to 17:00.

The business accommodation includes a deceptively spacious, double-fronted ground floor lock-up shop. It features a customer ordering area and a separate seating area with approximately 25 covers. Towards the back is the catering kitchen, along with a wet room equipped with a high capacity rumbler and chipper. The first floor comprises an office/storage area and additional storage space in the basement.

Additionally, the first floor houses a self-contained one-bedroom flat with a separate entrance, currently rented out at £500 per calendar month.

Ambitious new owners could capitalise on modern online food delivery platforms such as Just Eat and Deliveroo, offering deliveries to the densely populated communities surrounding the shop.

All up-to-date trading information will be made available following a successful viewing. This business must be seen to be fully appreciated.
