PADIHAM - Fish & Chip Shop Low Asking Price W/T £600. Demand To Hours

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a long established freehold fish and chip shop with living accommodation located in Padiham, Lancashire.

Ingham Street Chippy has been operating on Ingham Street under the present owners for an extraordinary 30 years and was established over 100 years ago. Needless to say, the business has a strong reputation and with this being a retirement sale, the present owners have been working on reduced hours to suit their lifestyle, so the current level of takings are based on lunch and teatime opening from Monday to Friday only. There is strong demand for supper and weekend trade which would be welcomed by local residents.

Externally the building stands prominently on Ingham Street and is a widely recognised part of the local community. The premises occupies a prominent corner plot location with a side garden which could make a pleasant outdoor seating area. There are some exciting developments close by and it is understood this will result in Ingham Street attracting much more passing trade both vehicular and pedestrian.

Internally the building is extremely well fitted as a traditional fish and chip shop with display counters in the customer service and waiting area. The prep room/potato room is situated just behind the main service area and there is access to the enclosed yard and also the first floor from here. The first floor is mainly used as storage and was formerly home to the present owners.

Ingham Street Chippy, at such an attractive price for both business and property, offers massive potential. The present menu is traditional fish and chips, pies etc and expansion of this into a multi cuisine menu would be a welcome addition, plus the business is only open for under 20 hours per week which excludes evening and weekends. This is an obvious area to address and should have an immediate impact on weekly revenue.

The business would ideally suit a hands on owner operator who could drive the business forward with enthusiasm and build on the solid trading heritage.

Once again, the asking price includes business and property which makes this a tremendous opportunity for a new owner and your early attention is encouraged.
