Hilton Smythe are proud to present to the market Don Hayes Butchers.Don Hayes Butchers has been an established business for over 30 years with our clients successfully running the business since inception around 10 years ago. The business currently holds a 5-star hygiene rating from South Gloucestershire Council. The butchers is well known in the area seeing a high amount of repeat trade as well as passing trade due to its prime location. Our clients have now reluctantly decided to sell the business due to retirement.This award winning butchers offers a wide range of quality fresh meats, seasonal game and poultry. They currently make their own award winning sausages and are the current holders of the BPEX South West Bacon Championship. Additionally they produce a wide range of their own pastry products and have a good revenue from the sale of home-cooked meats. Additional revenue is also derived from the catering supplies to local schools, cafes and farm shops in the area. The business does particularly well at Christmas time and runs a very successful Christmas club for customers. The business is currently turning over a figure of £495,000 per annum and although this is a very healthy turnover, we feel that a new owner could take the already thriving butchers shop to the next level by perhaps expanding the catering side of the business. The business may also benefit from a modest marketing campaign via social media to keep customers up to date with new products, promotions and progress within the shop. The business is very well maintained with a high level of equipment, it also further benefits from a former bedsit above the business which could be converted back to living space and let to generate further income. There is also a large cellar below which is used for further storage space. We highly recommend an early viewing of this business to avoid disappointment.
The business is currently run by the two owners assisted by 3 members of staff.
The business is open:Monday to Friday 8.30am - 5.00pmSaturday 8.00 am - 5.00pm
