Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this very well established wholesale and retail bakery that was established by our clients 22 years ago and is only now being placed on the market due to retirement. The current weekly turnover of the business is in the region of £11,500, achieving a gross profit of 27%. The majority of the turnover comes from the wholesale side of the business, supplying approximately 100 shops every day. Over the years the business has built up an excellent reputation and client base, that a new owner could further develop if so wished with a new advertising and marketing campaign, further retail outlets and the supplying to more businesses. The business further benefits from a retail unit in Blackpool on an indoor market that has been established for over 40 years and sells all products from the bakery. Seldom do businesses of this quality, which still have huge potential for further development, come to the open market. We feel this is a business that truly has infinite scope and early discussions with Preferred Commercial, as well as viewing, must come strongly recommended.
