Restaurant for sale

Lee Park Avenue, Liverpool L25

Citrus Commercial Circle is pleased to present an outstanding opportunity to acquire On The Run, a substantial and established multi-cuisine takeaway business situated on Lee Park Avenue, Liverpool.

The business has been successfully operating for over three years, offering a varied menu of fish and chips, pizzas, kebabs, burgers and Chinese-style dishes, serving customers through takeaway collection and delivery services, including Just Eat and Uber Eats.

Positioned within a busy commercial parade surrounded by a densely populated residential neighbourhood, the premises benefit from an established local customer catchment and a convenient setting for food delivery and collection operations.

The property provides approximately 1,300–1,500 sq ft of ground-floor accommodation, offering significantly more space than many traditional takeaway premises and allowing multiple food preparation operations to function within the same business.

A major attraction is the extensive professional fit-out, completed approximately three years ago at a reported cost of £160,000. The premises have been designed to accommodate a wide range of takeaway food concepts, with two separate, fully equipped commercial kitchen areas.

The main kitchen incorporates a commercial fish and chip range, heated food displays, a Zanolli conveyor pizza oven, kebab equipment, griddles, fryers, refrigerated preparation counters and substantial food preparation and storage facilities.

A second dedicated kitchen includes twin multi-burner Chinese wok ranges, commercial extraction and associated equipment, offering an incoming operator considerable potential to expand the Chinese food offering alongside the existing takeaway menu.

The front-of-house accommodation benefits from a spacious service counter, illuminated signage, digital ordering and epos systems, display refrigeration and customer collection facilities. Additional features include CCTV, a monitored alarm system and extensive commercial refrigeration and freezer storage.

The business is currently operated under management, providing an attractive opportunity for an experienced owner-operator or established hospitality company to take a more active role in the operation and potentially improve operating efficiency.

Trading currently takes place seven days per week, from 4:00pm until 11:00pm, leaving potential to introduce lunchtime service, expand online ordering, increase delivery activity and further develop the Chinese menu using the existing specialist kitchen facilities.

The premises are offered with the benefit of a new lease to be granted directly by the freeholder, with the lease length and terms negotiable. The anticipated rent is approximately £1,000 per calendar month, representing a competitive occupational cost for accommodation of this size and specification.

Business rates are currently reported as nil, subject to verification and the incoming occupier's circumstances.

The business currently employs four full-time and two part-time staff, with employment transfer arrangements subject to applicable tupe requirements.

The sale includes the business goodwill, fixtures, fittings and equipment, offering an incoming purchaser the opportunity to acquire a substantial, established takeaway operation with extensive infrastructure already in place.

The current owner is selling to focus on other business interests, including an adjoining convenience retail operation.

This is an attractive opportunity for experienced food operators, existing takeaway businesses or hospitality investors seeking a substantial, multi-purpose commercial kitchen operation with further growth potential.

Business sale only – the freehold property is not included.
