BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Traditional Butchers Two Shops in Busy Locations
Ref.EJ046
Location Dorset
Asking Price £ 247,000
Established by the current owner’s father almost sixty years ago and located on its current retail sites since inception, this traditional, family run butchers is dedicated to providing its customers with the finest quality, fresh meats and foods from all over the UK stocking a wide range of meats for every occasion. The staff at the business can also advise customers how to get the best out of their food.
The business has two shops very well located in extremely busy areas, one offers customers the best cuts of prime Scotch beef, pies and other prepared foods, meat for the freezer and a wide selection of other products for customers to choose from, while the second shop stocks local English meats and along with their usual meats they also sell spit roasted chickens.
In addition to providing customers with superb meat, this business is committed to providing a friendly, helpful and very individual service. As would be expected of a traditional butcher with all of the necessary skills available in house, products are cut and prepared exactly to each and every customer’s specific requirements. Not surprisingly this business is a firm favourite with its loyal customer base comprising the old and the young – drawing customers from the surrounding villages for several miles around.
Both shops are in excellent positions, this is the only independent butcher in the area – and has a financial performance reflecting this. With a very strong reputation this traditional family butchers represents an excellent acquisition opportunity for an independent butcher in the area looking for two additional outlets or alternatively someone already employed within the trade to start out on their own
Expansion Potential
With a strong demand for the products and service of this business and capacity to increase turnover, a new owner would contribute fresh ideas, enthusiasm and outside influence to build on an excellent base.
There is no doubt that this business would benefit from hands-on, dedicated management from an owner operator as currently both the shops are fully run by staff.
