Modern Deli & Salad Bar Worcester For Sale Worcester, Worcestershire, United Kingdom Advert ref: DS874K Business description
This attractive and busy shop is situated close to the centre of the City of Worcester and close to one of the City’s major central car parks.
The attractive and impressive shop has full width glazed windows to the front, with a central glazed entrance door and an attractive sign above. The windows are eye catching and display both the name of the business and a summary of the goods on offer. There is a lot of room for customers to circulate and examine the products on offer, which are all tastefully displayed in refrigerated display cabinets.
There are three display cabinets, one is 2.8 metre wide and used as a salad bar during the summer, but changed to display cooked meals during the winter, a second one is 1.8 meters wide and used for meat and similar products, and the final one is 1.4 meters wide.
There is a large open fronted cooled cabinet containing soft drinks, and a well stocked spice and sauces rack.
In addition, there is a large Ben & Jerry’s upright freezer cabinet containing the world famous products of this company, including ice creams, frozen yogurts and sorbets this was a £10,000 investment which has proved to be a big success.
Behind the main cabinet is a work unit with an oak top plus a hand wash basin and a microwave oven, there are two tills, one on this counter and one to the rear of the shop, where customers are also served.
To the front, visible from the road, is a hot serving gantry and there is a “Jura” high quality coffee machine which is subject to a leasing agreement that would be assignable to a new owner.
The interior of the premises is of the highest quality and everything is virtually new as the current owners refitted the shop from an empty shell when then started the business in August 2007. There is three phase electricity with two circuits, plus air conditioning or heating available throughout.
To the rear of the shop is the kitchen, this again is superbly fitted with a six burner electric cooker, a “Rational” steamer and oven combo, a large extractor hood, a six foot bench refrigerator, a sink unit with a stainless steel deep sink and a separate hand wash basin, a glass chiller and freezer plus a 6ft x 8ft walk in cold room.
The business has a much wider range of food on offer than a traditional deli. A large range of cooked meals are available including such items as Navarin of Lamb, Cottage Pie, Family Lasagne and a Vegetarian Option. Five varieties of potatoes are offered and six varieties of vegetables or rice. The salad bar is extensive with a large number of choices available for purchased in one of four box sizes priced from £1.00 to £3.75.
The big selling point of this company is that all of the products are freshly made on the premises, to be taken away and re-heated through a standard oven or a microwave oven. Outside catering for parties, dinner parties and any other function is another feature of this business and they have a web site under construction.
Because the business has not been trading for a full year, there are no chartered accounts available, but the management accounts will show a current turnover in excess of £2,500 a week which increases on a regular basis and should grow rapidly through the summer months, this should result in a good profit for a working couple. Apparently the business only requires a couple and two part time staff to operate successfully.
