Business Description
Veritas Business Sales are delighted to offer for sale this outstanding Ice Cream & Dessert Parlour franchise which is located in Sutton-in-Ashfield. The business was established in August 2020 by our client and is now being offered for sale so that they can concentrate on other projects.
Since ownership they have completely renovated, refurbished and invested in new equipment along with fixtures & fittings which are all bespoke and 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. The owners also negotiated energy costs fixed into the monthly rent, so the business is not affected by the increase in the cost of energy which is also a massive benefit for a new purchaser. The business is overseen by the owner but mainly operated by a team of 7 full time & 12 part time members of staff and has an average weekly turnover of between £18,000-£20,000 gross. Approximately £8,000-£10,000 is delivered out by their own drivers via the online portals Just Eat and Uber Eats. The remaining £10,000 is instore walk-in trade. They serve a fine range of waffles, crepes, pancakes, cookie dough, sundaes, verrines, ice creams, galetos, cheesecakes, bakes, patisserie, cakes, shakes, specialist teas & coffees and cold drinks. All products are prepared on site using high quality produce and can be enjoyed in the inviting and newly refurbished restaurant or can be taken away.
We believe that the business would benefit from a husband & wife combination or a family of owner operators which would keep operating costs down and increase profitability. The business has built a strong reputation within the local community and beyond and as such has a high level of regular and repeat trade along with plenty of passing trade. This is a superb opportunity to purchase a readymade, profitable, turnkey business where all the hard work has been done which is a great base to build upon and as such early viewing is highly recommended.
