BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Well established Butchers Shop in a prime High Street, Village Location
Ref. AC356
Location : South Hertfordshire
Asking Price : GBP 180,000
Extremely well established Butchers shop, owned and managed by the present owner since 1981. The business is in a prime high street location, being one of the main thorough fares in this busy and popular South Herts Village and well positioned among other successful retailers with established clientelle. The close proximity to the London Commuter community of residents and other dense residential suburbs provides an excellent, affluent and willing customer base.
Well known in the locale for the wide selection of meat, pies and groceries, the shop retails a unique selection of products from across the region that are not readily available in the supermarkets or larger retailers; and has also very successfully diversified into the production of homemade, frozen ready meals which have proven to be extremely popular with customers.
The real power and energy of the shop comes from the attentive and courteous service provided by the staff and the high levels of customer service and satisfaction they generate.
Not surprisingly, the shop enjoys a good level of patronage including regular and frequent repeat custom that now extends to four generations of same family customers. It is not unusual to see three of these generations in the shop at any one time!
The target market for the shop is very much the local and often affluent residents of this busy area of South Hertfordshire
The shop is further supported by a website though this is currently under construction.
This opportunity is an ideal business for anyone looking to engage with the retail butchers sector or for someone already in the sector looking for a strongly performing, additional outlet to bolt on to their existing business activities.

Expansion Potential
The business has maintained good, consistent and profitable trading through its lifetime but for a new owner with other ambitions and with further marketing for both the shop and website, the business could grow delivery and commercial trading for greater returns.

Market / Competition / Non-Competition Agreements
None. A website is currently under construction.
