Leasehold Fish & Chip Takeaway in Prime Earl Shilton Location

Guide Price: £89,950 plus SAV (£2,000)

Location

Veritas Business Sales proudly presents this well-established leasehold Fish & Chip Takeaway situated in the bustling centre of Earl Shilton. Positioned on prominent Wood Street, the business benefits from high visibility and steady foot traffic. Earl Shilton, a vibrant town with a population of approximately 10,000, borders the village of Barwell and is conveniently located about 10 miles from Leicester and just 3 miles from Hinckley. Excellent road links include quick access to the M1 and M69 junctions, making commuting straightforward. The area is also well-served by regular bus routes to Hinckley and Nuneaton.

Business Overview

Offering a unique opportunity, this longstanding Fish & Chip Takeaway has traded successfully for over 20 years. The current owners, who have been at the helm since February 2024, are now looking to sell as they pursue other ventures. Since acquiring the business, they have invested in comprehensive refurbishment and brand-new equipment, fixtures, and fittings— all fully paid for and included in the sale, presenting a cost-effective investment for a new owner. Fry-dayz operates under the management of the owner with assistance from two full-time and one part-time staff. The weekly turnover averages between £6,000 and £6,500. Approximately 60% of trade is walk-in, with the remaining 40% generated through online delivery partners such as Just Eat, Uber Eats, and Deliveroo. The menu features a superb range of traditional fish & chips, pies, savouries, kebabs, burgers, southern fried chicken, desserts, and beverages.

There is significant potential for growth by expanding the menu—adding breakfast options or pizzas could attract new custom. New residential developments nearby are expected to increase footfall, and a more hands-on owner-operator would maximise profitability. This turnkey business offers a fantastic platform for expansion and is highly recommended for early viewing to avoid missing out.
