Business Description
Veritas Business Sales are delighted to offer for sale this respected leasehold Fish & Chip Takeaway which is located in the Cornish City of Truro. The business has been established for over 30 years and has been in the careful hands of our client for the past 6 years. They are now offering the business for sale so that they can enjoy a well deserved retirement.
Since ownership they have completely refurbished the premises and have installed brand new equipment including a made to measure 4 pan (Blackburn) range. All the equipment along with fixtures & fittings are 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. Charlies Fish & Chip Takeaway is owner operated and requires the help of 1 full time and 8 part time members of staff and for the year ending 31st August 2024 posted a turnover of £392,092 net of vat. They serve a fine selection of traditional fish & chips, pies, burgers, southern fried chicken goujons, squid rings, battered sausage, condiments and cold drinks.
We believe that there is further potential to increase trade by extending the current opening times, by opening on Sundays & Mondays and by joining the online delivery portals such as Just Eat. 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 turnkey takeaway which is a great base to build upon and as such early viewing is highly recommended.
