Preferred Commercial is pleased to offer for sale this popular butchers business, which has been in our client's careful hands since 1992 and which has only now being placed on the market due to our client's wish to retire. The business trades 6-days per week and generates a turnover in the region of £380,000 per annum with a gross profit of 36%, derived from offering general butchery produce including cooked meats, homemade sausages, pies and pastries as well as serving hot joints and roasts at lunch time. We feel that turnover could be increased by perhaps extending the opening hours and by embarking on a modest marketing campaign. The business occupies large premises of approximately 8,000 sqft, and has a spacious sales area, which is well-equipped to suit the trade. The business also offers 3-bedroom owners' accommodation with a lounge, bathroom, kitchen and conservatory. We are advised that planning permission is in place to create another retail shop area utilising some of the residential space to the side of the existing shop. There is a website in place, which provides information about the business history and we feel that this could be developed further. Our client has gained an excellent reputation and a loyal customer base from offering a welcoming and friendly service. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire profitable butchers, which is situated in a thriving area and is in walk-in-and-trade condition. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
