Delightful sandwich bar and takeaway T a The Sandwich Hut, 25 Front Street, Acomb, York, YO24 3BW

This well established and profitable concern is run from small but fully equipped premises with an outside seating area to the front, located in a popular and populous area, just a stones throw from the prime shopping areas of Front Street and York Road in Acomb, probably York’s busiest suburb.   Run from a characterful building forming one of the original Acomb village properties, the business consists of the making and selling of sandwiches, cakes, hot and cold drinks, light snacks etc and there is also a thriving and as yet undeveloped outside catering aspect to the business which could readily be expanded to generate higher profits without much increase in overheads.  The business is run by a two person team hence there are no wage costs and is offered for sale at a very attractive asking price.

LEASE

A new lease will be available to the buyer for a length to be agreed. The commencing rent will be £735 per month with a review in December 2025.

BUSINESS

Accounts for Year Ended 2023 show takings of £60,877 however it is anticipate that the 2023 / 2024 accounts will show a higher turnover, probably around £70,000 which should produce adjusted net profits of around £15 -£17,000. This assumes that the business is run by a two person team as at present, with no staffing costs.  The business is open Monday to Friday 9.00am to 3.00pm and 10.00am to 1.00pm Saturday.   There is a thriving outside catering side to the business but it is felt that this could be increased substantially by new owners with more energy and enthusiasm. This would help to increase the profits quite substantially.  Full accounts information will be available to genuinely interested parties after having viewed the business.
