HALIFAX - Takeaway Well Established £2,000 + Fantastic Reputation Huge

This is a great opportunity to acquire a very well established and popular takeaway located in the centre of Halifax.

Midnight Express has been operating on Bull Green for over 30 years, the current owner has run the business for the last 3 years, and a strong reputation has been maintained. As the current owner’s business partner is no longer involved with the business, Midnight Express is reluctantly for sale due to the current owner’s family and unrelated business commitments. This presents a wonderful opportunity for a new owner/owners to push the business forward to the next level and maximise all the potential opportunities.

Externally the impressive building stands prominently on Bull Green in a prime location on a busy road between a public house and taxi business in the heart of the Halifax nightlife. The brand and signage is a very familiar sight within the local area. Once inside this impressive building the true extent of the sales area can be fully appreciated.

Internally the building is extremely well fitted and has a large waiting area and counter with deli display. The kitchen preparation area is located behind this area and can be seen by the shop therefore creating a modern feel to the interior. There is a main kitchen area through to the rear of the building and all is well equipped with modern high value good quality equipment. There is a spacious cellar with ample storage, WC and extremely useful walk-in cold room.

Although the business has been trading for many years, the last 12 months has seen little advertising and there is a large supply of menus ready for distribution which historically has been vey effective, but due to time restrictions has not been done for some considerable time. Also, there is high demand to increase the delivery service which again has been hindered with lack of manpower. There is still plenty of potential opportunities that can be realise and certainly increasing the opening hours would have an immediate effect.

The business would ideally suit a hands on owner operator(s) 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.
