BLACKBURN - Fish & Chip / Takeaway Substantial Property W/T £1,100, Capab

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a thriving takeaway in Blackburn, Lancashire.

Eanam Chippery and Takeaway has been operating on the busy Copy Nook for many years and the current owner has earned an enviable reputation. The business is only being offered for sale as the business was until recently a partnership which no longer the case. As the present owner is not in a position to release the full potential of the business and meet the full customer demand, this is now a fantastic opportunity for a new owner operator to maximise the potential and take the business onto the next phase.

Externally the building stands prominently on Copy Nook with free parking immediately outside. The building has a very obvious presence from the kerb side due to its impressive signage and bright interior, creating a strong brand from the very first impression. Adjacent to the large window fronted takeaway premises is the separate entrance to the living accommodation above. Once inside the building, you understand just how deceptively spacious this property is.

Internally the building is extremely well fitted and has breakfast bar seating to the right, underneath the bright backlit menu displays. The heated displays and range/counter span the centre of the serving area and to the rear is the prep kitchen, main kitchen with a storage area/hallway leading through to the very rear of the building where the potato room is found. The service area and part of the kitchen areas have benefitted from an extensive refit in 2009.

Although the business has been trading for many years there is still plenty of potential opportunities that can be realised and following the departure of the main chef earlier in 2011, the immediate involvement of an experienced chef that is able to expand the menu would see an increase in turnover. The business would ideally suit a hands on owner operator who could drive the business forward with enthusiasm and build on the solid trading foundations laid down by the current owner.

It is rare that such a business with an enviable reputation comes to market and therefore early viewings are advised as an early completion is anticipated.
