The business has now been placed on the market for sale after 15 years of ownership as our client looks to relocate.
While enjoying a good level of turnover there is scope to further increase this by undertaking a robust marketing campaign via local press advertising, radio adverts, the introduction of a dedicated website, use of social media, along with a further push on event catering for parties, functions etc and reviewing the opening hours to accommodate weekend trade.
A genuine opportunity to acquire a thriving, well run business. Early viewing comes highly recommended.
