Thriving Freehold Butchers

Located close to both Dartmoor & Exmoor

Potential to increase sales

Easily run business

Located in a sought after Devon village

Falcon Commercial are delighted to offer for sale this long established freehold butchers which has been established many years. The business is now reluctantly being offered to the market as the owner wishes to develop his other interests outside the butchery trade.

This rarely available opportunity enjoys an all year round trade retail and wholesale trade. It has a healthy turnover which is in the region of £90,000 per year with a gross profit margin of approximately 38%.

Neals Traditional Butchers has built up an excellent reputation for its delicious free range lamb, beef, pork, poultry and mixed meat boxes as well as the “traditional” cuts of meat, sausages, bacon, black pudding, hogs pudding etc which is available both over the counter and online. A new range of locally sourced vegetable boxes is proving extremely popular.

We feel that this opportunity represents a fantastic base on which to build upon on particular by growing the wholesale or online sales. Early negotiations with Falcon Commercial are highly recommended.
