    About this property

      A well-established café and delicatessen in a prime Derby city centre location, trading for nearly a decade and known locally for quality food and a loyal customer base.

      The business offers a mix of café and deli sales, including artisan cheeses, charcuterie, freshly prepared food, and drinks. It benefits from a strong trading position on Sadler Gate, one of Derby’s busiest and most popular streets.

      Turnover is steady at around £194,000 per annum, with strong gross profit margins in excess of 70%. The business is currently owner-operated, supported by a small team of staff, and would suit a hands-on buyer looking to take an active role in the day-to-day running.

      The premises are fully fitted and include a commercial kitchen, display counters, refrigeration, and epos system, allowing a smooth handover to a new owner.

      There is scope to improve profitability through tighter cost control and staffing efficiencies, as well as growing the business through evening openings, events, and expanded catering. The upcoming Becketwell Live development is also expected to drive additional footfall and demand.

      A solid, well-regarded business with consistent trade and further potential for the right operator.
