CoGoGo is delighted to welcome to the market this well-established and popular coffee shop and salad bar business, which is ideally located within the town of Swanage, Dorset. The business was established by our client in 2008 and is only now being offered to the market due to our client’s change of personal circumstances. The business currently operates 7 days per week, generating an excellent turnover in the region of £44,000 as of the 2017 accounts, with a gross profit of 63%. Our client offers a wide variety of fayre including hot and cold sandwiches, Panini’s, salads, cakes including gluten and dairy free, sausage rolls and soup, to name a few, as well as a selection of hot and cold beverages. The property boasts 28 sq. metres of floor space to the ground floor, with tables and chairs for 12 x covers, as well as a kitchen area to the rear. The first and second floors offer a two bedroom flat, which could be used as owners’ accommodation, or let out to generate further income. The business has built up an excellent reputation within the area for the very high quality of the food and service 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. A new owner could also embark on a small marketing campaign to highlight the excellent service offered or apply for an alcohol licence. We feel the business would benefit from the launch of a website to promote the business and goods offered. This is an excellent opportunity for a new owner to take this already thriving business to the next level; therefore, early viewing must come highly recommended to avoid disappointment.
