CoGoGo welcomes to the market Tulips. Our clients first took over the business in 2014, who purchased the business from the previous owners who had it for 7 years and has thoroughly enjoyed running this successful business. However, the owners are now looking to sell the business due to the desire to move abroad. The business runs as a busy town centre café, offering an excellent range of products. They offer hot breakfasts, salads, jacket potatoes, homemade cakes, hot and cold drinks, ice creams and more. All food is available to eat in or takeaway; there is a large seating area in store with some outside seating. We are advised that the business also offers celebration cakes and cupcakes; this is a fantastic extra that compliments the business well. The business is currently generating an advised turnover of around £55,000 per annum. This is a healthy turnover that has potential to be increased. The new owner should look to add a delivery service and outside catering. The business is already well-known in the town for its delicious cakes and so to generate a little extra business, the owner should look to offer buffet menus for private functions. Opening longer hours could also benefit the business. The café boasts excellent reviews on the TripAdvisor site. This is great as there are now a lot of potential customers using this site; it is especially popular with tourists, visiting new towns. This is a fantastic opportunity that is not to be missed. CoGoGo highly advise early viewing to take in the full potential of the trade.
