Business Description
Veritas Business Sales offer to the market this respected and Award-Winning Fish & Chip Takeaway which is located in Ossett, West Yorkshire. The business was established back in 1970 and has been in the careful hands of the current owners since 2018 and have won the prestigious “Good Food Award” 4 years in a row. They are now offering the business for sale so that they can relocate closer to home due to poor 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. Sea Urchin Fish & Chips is owner operated with a team of 3 part time members of staff and has an average weekly turnover of circa £5,500 which is all walk-in trade. They serve a fine range of traditional fish & chips, along with, pies, savouries, condiments and cold drinks.
We believe that a new owner could increase trade simply by extending the current opening times, expanding on the food offering and by joining the online delivery portals such as Just Eat, Deliveroo & Uber Eats. You could also build your own website for click and collect sales. This is a rare opportunity to purchase an established, well-respected takeaway with further growth potential which is a great base to build upon and as such early viewing is highly recommended.
