Overview of the Business:
The Business
Advent Business Sales are pleased to offer to the market this extremely well established pizzeria, which has been trading successfully for the last 8-9 years.
The current vendor has only been in ownership for 6 months and is reluctantly selling due to problems in the family.
Even on reduced hours, the shop is turning over reasonable takings, which could be doubled if in the hands of a family, with day time trading and late openings.
The business offers a full range of pizza, for both take away and delivery (delivery has a radius of 4 – 5 miles).
Decor, fixtures, fittings and equipment is to an excellent standard.
The shop has a 4 screen computer touch ordering system for telephone orders. This not only speeds up orders but cuts out errors
The Perfect Pizza company issue details for making pizzas, as well as supplying frozen dough balls, ensuring a good standard of product and fillings, as well as profit margins for the owner.
The owner informs us that as long as an owner is hardworking and follows the guidelines, anyone can succeed with the right family backing.
Stock at cost is approximately £900.
This was originally bought as a family business and as such ran extremely well. This could happen again with the right hard working family commitment.
