This is definitely not your average Sandwich Shop!
There has been a food based business at these premises for a number of years and the current owners have run it as Jeffreys Fine Sandwiches for the last 5 years. The business has flourished under their ownership accruing many regular customers and a burgeoning reputation. The business has been a real labour of love for them and they have spent much time and money ensuring it is one of the best sandwich shops in the Midlands, if not the UK.
The business is now being sold, albeit reluctantly and with heavy hearts only due to a wish to pursue a change of direction and to spend more time with their young family.. The vendors are keen to see their beloved Sandwich Shop pass to an ambitious and entrepreneurial new owner (s) who can take this already thriving business to the next level.
