Business Description
Veritas Business Sales are privileged to offer to the market this delightful Fish & Chip takeaway which is located in Kendal. The business has been established for 20 years and has been in the careful hands of the current owners for the past 9 years. They are now offering the business for sale so that they can enjoy a well deserved retirement.
Since ownership there has been continual investment to include a new shop refit and they have installed brand new equipment along with fixtures & fittings which are all bought and paid for and included within the sale price which is a huge plus for any new purchaser as additional funds will not need to be spent for some time. Frydays of Kendal is owner operated with the help of 3 full time and 1 part time members of staff and a couple of casual helpers as and when needed. For year ending 31st March 2022 based on 45 weeks trading on only 17.5 hours per week they posted a turnover of £285,676 with a gp of £188,758 (66%) and producing a very healthy net profit of £97,116. The main trade is walk in but click and collect and deliveries via their own app accounts for approximately £2000-£2,500 per week. They have built a fantastic reputation for serving only the finest fish & chips, along with, pies, sausages, savouries, condiments and cold drinks. Last time they entered the National Fish & Chip Awards, Frydays of Kendal were in the top 20, consistently in the Fry Magazine top 50 and Good Food Awards winner for the last 3 years.
We believe that a new owner could increase trade by extending the current opening times, increasing the food offering such as pizzas and by joining the on-line delivery portals such as Just eat and Deliveroo. The business has built a strong reputation within the local community and beyond and as such has a high level of regular and repeat trade. This is a superb opportunity to purchase an established and newly fitted takeaway which is a great base to build upon and as such early viewing is highly recommended as this gem is not to be missed.
