BUSINESS:
The Fountain is a locally renowned takeaway operated successfully by our clients since 1996.
Staffed by our clients, 2 full time and up to 17 part time staff (including delivery drivers), the current opening hours are Monday to Friday, 11.30 am - 1.30 pm and 4.00 pm – 10.30 pm, Saturday and Sunday 4.00 pm-10.30 pm.
Trading accounts show a generally steady turnover over the last 5 years and the most recent accounts, to April 2013, reveal a turnover of in excess of £495,000 (excl. VAT) with a resultant gross profit of approximately 57% and an adjusted net profit of 18.4%. It should be noted that our clients have scaled down their workload in recent years resulting in the employment of additional staff with consequently higher wages and they believe that, operated more intensely by any new owners, adjusted net profits should reach in the region of £150-160,000.
Already very popular locally and trading extremely successfully our clients also envisage there is scope for further development of the business by, for example, extending the opening hours beyond the licensing hours of the 4 public houses in the immediate vicinity, more emphasis on deliveries and introducing home made pizzas and pastas.
