Hilton Smythe is delighted to welcome to the market this popular café and coffee shop business, which is ideally located within the town of Gosport in Hampshire. The business was established by our client in 2013 and is only now being offered to the market, due to our client’s other interests. The Café currently operates 6 days per week and generates a turnover in the region of £89,000 per annum, with a gross profit of approximately 60%, as per the 2016 accounts. Our client offers a wide variety of fayre, including full English breakfasts, vegetarian breakfasts, hot & cold sandwiches, omelettes, jacket potatoes, homemade cakes, smoothies, milkshakes and a children’s menu, as well as a selection of hot and cold beverages. Our client also makes celebration cakes to order, for special occasions. The property boasts 59 sq. metres of floor space, are very well maintained and extremely well fitted out to suit the trade. The business has built up an excellent reputation within the area for the high quality of the food and services offered, which has resulted in a very loyal client base, with a high volume of repeat trade and word of mouth recommendations. We feel there is scope to increase the turnover by extending the opening hours, perhaps by opening later and taking advantage of the early evening trade. A new owner could also embark on a modest marketing campaign to highlight the excellent fayre and services offered. Our client utilises social media, with a page on the popular website Facebook, which has nearly 1,100 likes, although we feel the business would benefit from a dedicated website to promote the business. This is an excellent opportunity for a new owner, perhaps a husband and wife team or partnership, to take this already popular café business to the next level; therefore, early discussions with Hilton Smythe must come highly recommended to avoid disappointment.

The business is owner run and managed with 4 x part time staff members.

The business is open: Monday – Friday: 10.00am – 3.30pmSaturday: 9.00am – 4.00pmSunday: Closed
