Energy Rating D
A leasehold fish and chips restaurant and takeaway located in the town centre. This business is fitted to an extremely high standard with a large preparation room and large store rooms. A rare opportunity to acquire a longstanding and established, locally famous and an award winning restaurant and takeaway in the heart of Southport town centre, near all retail shops, pubs and a huge residential area. Only a 10 minute drive from the beach.
Prior to being forced to close, the sales were in excess of £10,000 per week, so huge potential with a proven track record.
The site was fully staffed therefore it has huge potential to increase sales with owner operator or on site management.
This would be ideal as a family run store, or it would suit a hand’s on multi-site operator ideally with experience.

LOCATION
This property is based in the city centre, with easy access for walking and driving customers. The site benefits from being surrounded by a huge residential area, bars, shopping area and the shop could go from strength to strength with someone that would commit the time and effort to the business as opposed to being fully staff operated. There are lots of local businesses in the area and they all complement each other.
INTERNAL DETAILS
The site is equipped with all required equipment to run this long established fish and chip shop with a proven track record of high sales in the past. Weekly sales of £10,000 per week plus. Unfortunately the current owner does not have the time to commit and be there to run it himself due to other business commitments, despite that the business still had a high turnover.

External Details
The business benefits from having private parking to the rear.

THE OPPORTUNITY
