Freehold Fish & Chip Takeaway Located In Warsop, Nottinghamshire

Business Description
Veritas Business Sales are delighted to offer for sale this highly respected Fish & Chip Takeaway which is located in the town of Warsop, Nottinghamshire. The business was established in 1936 and has been in the careful hands of the current owner for the past 35 years. They are now offering the business for sale due to poor health and the timing being right to enjoy a well earned retirement.
Since ownership they have invested in 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. The Blue Ocean is owner operated with the help of 1 full time & 1 part time members of staff and has an average weekly turnover of £4,000 which is lower than usual due to the reduced opening hours. 85% of turnover is from walk-in trade and 15% for deliveries from their own website. More accounting information will be made available on application. They serve a fine range of traditional fish & chips along with, kebabs, sausages, burgers, southern fried chicken, condiments, vegetarian options and soft drinks.
We believe that there is potential to increase trade by extending the current opening times and by joining the on-line delivery portals such as Just Eat. The business enjoys a strong reputation within the local community and beyond and as such has a high level of regular and repeat trade. The flat upstairs benefits from either having access from the shop as well as having its own separate entrance. The site is situated on a large plot of land with options to utilise the land for additional car parking or the potential to build additional outbuildings or accommodation. This is a superb opportunity to purchase an established business which is a great base to build upon and as such early viewing is highly recommended.
