Popular Tearoom in Blandford Forum, Dorset For Sale

CoGoGo is delighted to welcome to the market this very popular and busy tearoom business, which is ideally located within the town of Blandford Forum, Dorset. The business was originally established in 1991 and has been in our client’s careful ownership since 2011. Only now is the business being offered to the market due to our client’s desire to move onto other things or a possible move abroad. The business currently operates 5 days per week and generates a turnover in the region of £72,800 per annum, with a gross profit of approximately 66%. Our client offers a wide variety of fayre including full English breakfasts, omelettes, jacket potatoes, salads, toasted sandwiches, sandwiches and a variety of desserts, as well as a good selection of hot and cold beverages, including speciality teas. The property boasts approximately 43 sq. metres of floor space, with a spacious service and seating area and a kitchen to the rear. The business has built up an excellent reputation within the area and further afield for the high quality of the fayre 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 offering Monday trading, as the business is currently closed on this day. A new owner could also embark on a modest marketing campaign to highlight the excellent food offered. There is also scope to launch a website for the business. This is an excellent opportunity for a new owner, perhaps a husband and wife team or partnership, to take this already thriving business to the next level; therefore, early viewing must come highly recommended to avoid disappointment.

The business is owner run and managed with 2 x part-time staff members.

The business is open: Monday: ClosedTuesday – Friday: 9.30am – 4.30pmSaturday: 9.30am – 4.00pmSunday: Closed
