An Ice-Cream & Confectionary Business For Sale

An ice cream parlour takeaway, confectionery, and beach paraphernalia business, which does not come better situated than this, near the water’s edge in the busy harbour town of Brixham, Devon. This excellent business draws upon a huge footfall by the quay; the layout of the shop is designed to maximise trading opportunities with visiting customers. This could easily operate without the need for staff, or with one person with part-time assistance when required. Early viewings of this rare opportunity are advised, and actual trading accounts will be made available following a successful formal viewing

Brixham is one of the UK’s most important fishing ports and, because of its picturesque nature, harbour, and lively marina, has become a popular holiday destination. Brixham is situated within Torbay with arterial road links to Dartmouth and Totnes. Both the A38 and A380 are conveniently nearby, linking the Bay to Plymouth and Exeter. Near to the shop is a large car park and local bus station providing access to all parts of Torbay and beyond.

The Business has been successfully operated; the current accounts demonstrate good turnover by only operating 8 months per year. We, the agents, feel there is great scope to expand on the opening hours and operate over a longer period during the winter months. There is an extensive social media presence along with great Google reviews. Actual trading accounts will be made available following a successful formal viewing.
