Hilton Smythe welcomes to the market an exciting opportunity to acquire (on a leasehold basis) an exceptionally popular and well-run cake and coffee shop business.
The business was first established by our client over 4 years, who initally created it as an online business. Due to the exceptional growth of it, they then decided to start trading from the current shop since November 2020. The business been reluctantly introduced to the market due to our clients interest in pursuing other ventures, with them keen to see the business pass to someone with the same passion and enthusiasm to take the business forward.
The Cake House offers customers the chance to sample delicious homemade cakes, alongside bakes from master bakers, a vegan specialist, and picture-perfect patisseries along with locally roasted Italian coffee, loose leaf tea and delicious hot chocolates. They have covers for 8 -10 people but there is potential to seat up to 12. The shop is extremely popular not only locally due to their netwoking with local businesses, but also with customers who are willing to travel great distance as they see this as a destination business.
We feel there is scope to increase the turnover with extended opening hours as they have permission to open seven days a week, also with the possible introduction of an online ordering and collection service and offering an outside catering service for private and corporate events would also help to increase turnover.
The business trades on its reputation for quality and service and has outstanding future possibilities. It would potentially be an ideal acquisition to some similar sized or larger enterprise looking to increase its position and presence within the industry.
