Business Summary

The owner of this very successful cafe and takeaway has been running the business for the last 15 years. In this time, he has built up an excellent reputation and has a large level of repeat trade. There is also very good passing trade and the business benefits from being located close to Easter Road Football stadium, attracting large crowds to the area on a regular basis. There is also a large high school located just yards away. The rent is extremely low at only £300 per month.

The business currently offers hot and cold filled rolls, breakfasts, soup, chips, burgers, toasties, baked potatoes, macaroni cheese and stovies. All are available for both sit in and takeaway. Due to the owner's ill health, the business is only open for restricted hours but there is great potential to expand the opening hours and also to offer outside catering. This would see the turnover and profits increase.

The large single from unit is approximately 70 square metres (752 square feet) and is in good condition. There is a large seating area to the front with up to 16 covers available. There is an open plan cooking area also to the front with a large refrigerated display unit, fryer, hot plate and a bain marie.
