Leasehold Traditional Fish & Chip Takeaway Located in Bakewell

Business Description
Veritas Business Sales are privileged to offer to the market this delightful Fish & Chip Takeaway located in the heart of Bakewell. The business was established 4 years ago and has been in careful hands of the current owner for the last 12 months but due to a recent unforeseen illness he must reluctantly sell this fantastic business.
There has been significant investment made to the premises to include total refurbishment which is estimated at over £100k. All the equipment was purchased as new and some of the equipment is still within warranty. The equipment along with fixtures & fittings which are all bought and paid for is 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 first floor space has been left as a shell and new owners can utilise the space for a studio apartment (kitchen and lounge area), or alternatively a new (24) cover restaurant.
Catch 32 is owner operated with the help of 2 part time members of staff and has an average weekly turnover of circa £5,500 on just 24 hours of trading. They serve a fine range of traditional fish & chips, along with, fish cakes, battered sausage, chicken nuggets, Whitby Scampi, Yorkshire Fish Cakes, condiments, and cold drinks. Approximately 80% of the trade is walk-in with the remaining 20% via their website on click and collect.
We believe that there is further potential to increase trade should you wish, by extending upon the current opening times, increasing the food offering as well as joining other online delivery portals such as Just Eat. The business has built a strong reputation within the local community and beyond and as such has a high level of regular and repeat trade along with plenty of passing tourist trade. This is a great opportunity to purchase an established, high turnover business which is a great base to build upon and as such early viewing is highly recommended as this is one not to be missed.
