CoGoGo is delighted to welcome to the market Tea @ Thyme. This café was originally established in 2007 but taken over by our clients in 2014. Our clients are now looking to sell the business due to the desire to focus on other business interests. The café generates its sales from hot and cold food, such as sandwiches, soups, wraps, jacket potato, salads and more. The café also offers a generous gluten free and coeliac menu, this is fantastic for expanding the amount of custom. We are advised that this café is recommended on the coeliac society app and BiteAppy. According to accounts year ending April 2015, the turnover is £55,400 per annum with a gross profit of 72%. This is a highly profitable business and would be perfect for a husband and wife team. The café has fantastic reviews on TripAdvisor, this is a great online platform. One of the reviews reads “A unexpected gem in Bridlington”. Showing that this café stands out from the rest, the café is known for its great clean healthy food and friendly customer service. The business does not offer any fried foods. The business doesn’t have its own website and could hugely benefit from the purchaser looking into this option. A website would promote the store to the tourists and others visiting the town. There are some other improvements the new buyer could look into in order to boost turnover; such as offering deliveries to the local area and by accepting card payments. There is also the option to start offering outside catering. This could be promoted to local function rooms and local businesses. This is a fantastic opportunity for a purchaser looking to take over a well-established business in a great profitable location. CoGoGo highly advise early viewing to avoid disappointment.
The business is run and managed by our clients with the help of 1 part time member of staff.
The business is open- Monday - Saturday: 9am – 3pmSunday: Closed Open till 4pm in the summer and closes mid December – mid January.
