Reasonable offers considered. CoGoGo is delighted to welcome to the market this very popular café business, which is ideally located within the popular seaside town of Skegness, Lincolnshire. The business was originally established in 2000 and has been in our client’s careful ownership since 2011. Only now is the business being offered to the market due to our client’s desire for semi-retirement. The business currently operates 7 days per week and generates a turnover in the region of £75,000 per annum, with a gross profit of approximately 70%, as per the 2016 accounts. Our client offers a wide variety of fayre including full English breakfasts, burgers, Paninis, omelettes, main meals, hot & cold sandwiches, toasties and kids’ meals, to name a few, as well as a good selection of hot and cold beverages. The property boasts 116 sq. metres of floor space, is very well maintained and decorated to a very high standard. The business has built up an excellent reputation within the area for the very high quality of the food and services offered, which has resulted in a very loyal client base, with a high volume of repeat trade and word of mouth recommendations. We feel there is scope to increase the turnover by extending the opening hours and taking advantage of the early evening trade. A new owner could also embark on a small marketing campaign to highlight the excellent food offered. There is potential to add more cover to the first-floor café area, which could increase the turnover. This is an excellent opportunity for a new owner, perhaps a husband and wife team or partnership, to take this already busy and thriving business to the next level; therefore, early discussions with CoGoGo must come highly recommended to avoid disappointment.
