CoGoGo welcomes to the market Upper Crust Café. Established in 1995, the business has been successfully run and managed by our client since inception in 2016. Revenue is derived from the sale of hot and cold daily prepared dishes including breakfasts, burgers, toasted sandwiches, sandwiches and daily specials to either sit in or take away. This busy café is in a great trading position seeing regular custom and further benefiting from passing trade. According to the 2015/16 accounts the business reports a generous turnover of £68,000 with gross profit at 60%. The café is bright and airy, spotlessly clean and provides seating for 12 covers, with an additional breakfast bar area allowing further seating. The business is well known in the area and is well known for the low pricing structure, cleanliness and very friendly staff. The café has a presence on social media, which we believe a new owner should make more use of by posting regular features and updates to promote the assets of the business. Also, a modest marketing campaign, perhaps leaflet drops in the area or introduce a delivery service would generate new business. Early viewing of this “turn key” business is highly recommended, which genuinely comes to the market due to our client’s other business interests.
