Superb Coffee Shop / Cafe - N. Lakes For Sale in Cumbria- Business 4 Sale .co.uk

Business Summary

Location
Adams and Co. are pleased to offer for sale this most attractive Café situated in a busy shopping arcade in a bustling market town in the heart of the Eden valley.

The Business
The business is run as a daytime coffee shop / café and it is a well known venue in the town. Our clients have implemented a continuous plan of upgrading and refurbishment within the last 4yrs sparing no expense, hence most of the original equipment they inherited has now been replaced, making this a true 'turnkey' operation. The café enjoys a high level of local repeat clientele as well as passing trade from arcade shoppers, and also being boosted by the many number of tourists who visit the area throughout the summer season. The business is run on easy hours with a simple menu and there is still scope to introduce a takeaway menu throughout the day. The vendor uses fresh, local produce, everything is made on the premises, and our client manages to achieve an excellent margin. There is enormous potential to introduce outside catering and to extend the hours (the arcade is open 8am to 5.30pm) and to possibly open on a Sunday. The café serves a good selection of hot and cold beverages and food including a range of teas and coffees, sandwiches, home cooked main meals plus a daily specials board and delicious home made desserts.
