Coffee Shop, Tearooms and Sandwich Bar In Stratford-Upon-Avon

This outstanding concern is located in the heart of Stratford Upon Avon which is the birthplace of William
Shakespeare, steeped in culture and history. Set in the beautiful rural Warwickshire countryside, on the banks
of the river Avon, it is one of the most important tourist destinations in the UK, receiving over 4.9 million
visitors.

Veritas Business Sales are delighted to offer for sale this respected Coffee Shop/Tea room & Sandwich
Bar/takeaway concern. The business has been established for over 20 years and has been in the careful hand
of my clients for the last 2 ½ years and is reluctantly being offered for sale due to ill health.
Since ownership they have continually 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 business is owner operated and requires the
help of 1 part time and 6 casual members of staff and has an annual turnover of £250,000 with a GP of 70%.
The coffee shop/tea rooms equates to 50% of the turnover, the sandwich bar/takeaway equates to 40% of
turnover and the remaining 10% is from the buffets & outside catering. The business serves a fine selection
of freshly prepared sandwiches, baguettes, jacket potatoes, salads, soups, hot daily main course specials,
pasties, pies, home made quiches & cakes, specialist teas & coffees, cold drinks and crisps which can be
eaten in or taken away.
We believe that there is further potential to increase trade by expanding on the outside catering & buffets
and they have just be granted a permit to sell ice cream outside. The business enjoys a strong reputation
within the local community and beyond and as such has a high level of regular and repeat trade. 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 as this business is not to be missed.
