BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Traditional Italian Delicatessen & Expresso Bar with Successful 100 year trading history
Ref.AF166
Location London
Asking Price GBP 190,000
This Traditional Italian Delicatessen comes to market for the 1st time ever as the 4th generation owner has made the decision to emigrate.
This is a family business that has become somewhat of an institution in the area, having a 100 year history and attracting regular repeat customers due to the excellent quality produce and service on offer.
The deli sells authentic Italian Food produce and has been in the same location since 1901. Produce includes an amazing selection of Italian food. The premises are atmospheric and well fitted out with full shelves all fully stacked with dried pasta, cold meats, olive oil, fine Italian wines, cheeses and spices to name but a few of the incredible range of produce on offer. The expresso and panini bar at the rear of the premises also offers a take away service and attracts plenty of customers who then also browse the selection of food on offer.
Expansion Potential
Increasing the daily opening hours and opening 7 days per week should have an immediate and significant effect on turnover, as well as opening during the August and Christmas period. The vendor has also suggested that there could be demand for delivery services for takeaway that could be worth looking into. The delicatessen does not offer a delivery service as yet and it is suggested that this would be a good income stream, requiring some planning and a little marketing to target the local community as well as local businesses and corporate organisations. A web site could be created to take these orders online.
