A Highly Successful Cantonese Chinese Take Away For Sale

A much liked and highly successful Cantonese Chinese take-away for sale, in the heart of a densely populated area of Torquay, Devon. This fantastic opportunity would allow for someone to enjoy the income stream our client has done for many years. A full handover/training will be provided to ensure a smooth hand over and continued success. The premises is well equipped with quality equipment and plenty of space to work & expand within, several stores and parking to the rear. A new negotiable length lease will be made available and early viewings are highly recommended.

LOCATION

The property is in the all-year round, busy coastal resort of Torquay, Devon, with a high population which swells by many millions during the summer months.  Ideally situated in the heart of the city and close to the bus and main-line railway station, also benefitting from high passing trade.  The main beach, harbour and local restaurants are just a short level walk away through the pleasant gardens of Torre Abbey.  Torquay is probably the most popular seaside holiday destination in the UK at present and has excellent road links to the M5 motorway linking all parts of the UK. Nearby, is an international airport offering flights to European and worldwide destinations and not forgetting Dartmoor National park which is only a short drive away.

BUSINESS

The business has been operating successfully for many years, which has allowed the owner to expand into a property portfolio and after many years, is now looking to retire.  Only operating 4 days per week because of lifestyle choice, there are many opportunities to expand on the existing turn over by opening more days, offering a wider choice of take-away products and taking advantage of the delivery apps, which are not being exploited. Actual trading accounts will only be made available following a successful formal viewing.
