About this property
An excellent opportunity to acquire a very long-established fish and chip shop business in the heart of Upminster, offered for sale due to our client’s retirement after 46 years running the business and 21 successful years of ownership. The business itself has traded for many years prior and enjoys a strong local reputation and loyal customer base.
The shop occupies a highly desirable and busy location, benefiting from consistent footfall and repeat trade. It is well presented and fully fitted, operating as both a takeaway and sit-down restaurant, with 26 covers currently arranged, providing flexibility and multiple income streams.
The business generates a good, established turnover, with clear scope for further growth. There is further potential to expand the existing menu by introducing additional items, which could significantly increase revenue, alongside opportunities to extend opening hours or enhance delivery services.
The business also benefits from excellent ratings and reviews on both TripAdvisor and Google, reflecting its long-standing quality, consistency, and popularity with both local customers and visitors alike.
