Sought after shopping center location

Well established business

Potential to increase trade

Falcon Commercial are delighted to offer for sale this popular Cafe which has been established for many years and is now reluctantly being offered to the market as the vendor wishes to retire.

Holly Court Diner which is in Midsomer Norton, near Bath enjoys an all year round trade and has a turnover in the region of £85,000 per year with healthy gross profit margins. At present most of the trade is from eat in diners with takeaways accounting for approximately 10% of the businesses income. There is a small amount of outside catering and the occasional children’s party.

The business has built up an excellent reputation for its friendly atmosphere and good food. We feel that this opportunity represents an ideal base on which to build upon possibly by opening on a Sunday or by promoting takeaways and even a delivery service. Early negotiations with Falcon Commercial are highly recommended.
