Business:
This business opportunity is located in the heart of this popular suburb to the east of Newcastle City centre. Heaton Road is an area of mixed retail, commercial and residential properties and is popular with professionals, young families and students. Nearby occupiers include Sainsbury’s Local and a selection of good quality independent traders.
The location has operated as a café for a number of years but is now on the market as our client is pursuing another unrelated career. The business is currently operating successfully under management as an upmarket brunch bar and café with a menu comprising hot and cold drinks, snacks and sandwiches together with a selection of light meals and pizza. The menu could be developed to include more substantial foods and there is a separate kitchen facility with an extraction system.
The premises are attractively laid out to provide a service area plus a mixture of fixed bench seating together with tables and chairs. There is room for up to 35 covers and the fit and finish is to a good standard following the refurbishment. The business is popular with a broad range of customers that included students, local workers and young mothers.
Viewing is recommended to appreciate this rare opportunity and the unutilised potential of the business.
