We are delighted to offer for sale this extremely well-presented Café which occupies a prime trading position on the main shopping street of this popular Somerset seaside town. We have been proud owners since 2015. It is now reluctantly being placed on the market as we are relocating out of the local area.
The business has built up an excellent reputation for its welcoming atmosphere, fantastic coffee and great service.
This extremely well presented turnkey café with function room and meeting room enjoys a central town centre trading position on a busy shopping thoroughfare with good pedestrian flow. Shoppers are attracted to the area by the famous beach as well as the range of independently owned businesses on offer. This thriving business is mainly operated as a daytime Café where all produce is sourced locally wherever possible and all food is freshly prepared and cooked to order. The premises are suitable for all types of cuisine. Additional income is generated from the Yoga studio and from the hire of the separate first floor meeting room.
The business is run by a dedicated team of full time & part time staff and generates a good turnover with healthy gross profit margins. There is tremendous potential to increase the turnover possibly running a modest marketing campaign or by extending the opening hours to include earlier in the morning or evenings, especially in the summer months.
