Hilton Smythe welcomes to the market an exciting opportunity to acquire on a leasehold basis an exceptionally well run and popular Thai takeaway business.
The business has been under the careful and meticulous ownership of our client since 2015, only now is the business being placed on the open market for sale as our client looks to take well deserved retirement from the industry.
Thai Now is a well-regarded business offering authentic Thai cuisine and gaining rave reviews online and has a reputation for freshness and quality with many repeat customers. The business currently operates its own telephone and online ordering system through its attractive website and is also active through Deliveroo.
Currently operated by the owner assisted by a full-time chef, second chef and various part time staff including 3 weekend delivery drivers.
There is scope to expand the business by -
- Opening Mondays,
- Opening at lunchtime
- Pursuing outside catering opportunities
