CoGoGo welcomes to the market Mr Buns The Baker. The business was originally established by our clients in 1999. This is a family run bakery with an exceptional reputation in this location. The owners are now looking to sell the business, due to the desire to take a well-deserved retirement. The business runs as a bakery and café. They have a great menu selling teas, coffees plus hot and cold food. The café sells all of the homemade bakery products, this includes a selection of breads, sandwiches, pies, pasties, cakes, biscuits, desserts and patisseries. Other dishes are available. Food can be eaten in or taken away. The property has a 36-cover seating area. The store receives a generous amount of repeat loyal trade from the locals and generates a turnover in the region of £265,000, as of the 2016 accounts, with a gross profit of 69%. This is an excellent turnover; however, we feel there is scope to boost this figure. The shop is only currently open 6 days a week. The purchaser should look to extend this to 7 days to allow for more custom. This is an outstanding business with huge scope for growth. The property is a great size and could accompany an outside catering service. This could be a great asset to the business. The catering could be promoted on the bakeries Facebook page. Social media is a great way of advertising a business. The page is regularly updated and promotes products available. There are over 190 followers on this page. This is a fantastic multi-facet business opportunity that is not to be missed. CoGoGo highly advise early viewing to take in the full potential of the trade.
