The Business
The business has been known as its current trading name for 30 years and is regarded as one of the cornerstones of the local community. The business is now being reluctantly sold due to the owners wish to enjoy a well-earned retirement.
The owner is keen to see his beloved food delivery service passed to an ambitious and entrepreneurial new owner, who can take this already thriving business to the next level. There is the possibility for a handover period between current owner and purchaser to ensure a good handover and continued success.
This is a well-established business with a very good reputation and many existing customers.
