CoGoGo is delighted to introduce to the market Fryer Tucks. This popular fish and chip shop was originaly established in 2007 by our clients, who have seen an increase in custom year on year. Our clients are now reluctantly looking to sell the business due to the desire for retirement. We are advised the business generates a very healthy turnover of circa £196,000 per annum, with a gross profit of around 60%. The turnover is fantastic however we believe this could be massively increased if the new owner was to look in to starting a restaurant on the first floor. The fish and chip shop does currently offer 16 covers to the back of the ground floor. The first floor would be perfect for a large restaurant space. The business has a fantastic menu and is well known for their great quality food within the area. This could be taken further with an outdoor events catering business. The property is a brilliant size and has enough extra space for this to be looked into. Included in the sale of the business is an ice cream machine. We are advised this is very popular and is a lucrative addition to the business. The business has a website http://www.fryer-tuck.co.uk/ on the website is some fantastic reviews and the menu with a price list. There is also a list of awards that the business has won such as ‘Best Business 2014’ from the Teesdale Business Awards. This is an extremely brilliant chippy with some fantastic reviews on TripAdvisor. These reviews just show how popular the business really is. CoGoGo highly advise early viewing to any interested parties, looking to buy an already well established and popular fish and chip shop in a great tourist area.
