BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Ref. AF171
Location : South Ayrshire Coast, Scotland
Asking Price : GBP33,000
A fabulous opportunity has arisen to purchase an established butchers that has been successfully trading under the current owners helm for the last 3 years. The business has rapidly built an impressive reputation for its quality and range of meat products including its range of cooked on site ready foods that are very popular with its customers. The butchers is ideally located and has become part of the fabric of the town (and beyond) such is the reputation it has already forged.

The business is primarily a retail family butcher that also offers its own range of unique ready foods. These foods can be supplied and heated on a take away basis, if requested by the customers. This takeaway service has been a real success, with customers often queuing out the doors before opening to purchase, particularly in the summer months when customers come from the local holiday caravan parks and other tourist locations to purchase.

The business has cemented itself within the community it serves, and beyond, for supplying quality and value driven meats and associated products. Many of the products are homemade using only traditional recipes and ingredients. Having many years trading experience the fully qualified butchery staff have expert food knowledge, backed up with superb supply relationships in place for all its meats.

In what can be a highly competitive industry, this business is experiencing continuing growth, fuelled by its dedication to the quality, value and price of its products and its high levels of customer service. This business offers a very personal and courteous service, with customer satisfaction its prime objective. The business is able to do this as it has a highly trained and experienced workforce an excellent team all committed to making only the very best products and meeting the specific requirements of its demographic.

Expansion Potential
The business has achieved impressive growth over the last few years and achieves impressive profit figures to match this. This has been achieved with very little in the way of marketing the business. It is understood that with a new focus and approach to sales the business could certainly increase both the number of customers and average customer spends and acquire new business quite quickly.

Market / Competition / Non-Competition Agreements
As it grows the business has less need of advertising as its reputation is spreading via social media and word of mouth recommendations. It does however advertise locally in the town via windows, billboards on walls etc.
