Features and description

A fantastically-presented artisan gelato ice cream & macaron bar business which is located in Cornwall's capital city of Truro, presenting an ideal lifestyle business opportunity for a purchaser. The business was recently mentioned in a Sunday Times article "Are you a Gelato Snob". The premises is fully equipped to trade with state-of-the-art Italian machinery for on-site production of the products, with an initial investment for the fixtures & fittings c£100,000. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a profitable business of this type which is being offered with a genuine reason for sale. The business was established by our clients approximately 10 years ago who have gone on to build up a fantastic reputation in that time. There are high levels of regular repeat custom in addition to the constant high levels of tourist trade which the area attracts. The business is also set up and able to accommodate events, as they have 4 ifi Gelato Coolboxes which are included within the sale price. The business is profitable in its current form, but leaves massive scope to increase further by adding commercial contracts to supply gelato/ice cream to surrounding businesses in the area, with some business owners having already approached our clients previously, asking them to supply their business, so there is a demand for that service which our clients were not able to accommodate. Gelato and Macaron training can be available if required by a purchaser. Viewing recommended to avoid disappointment. Cost of Stock to be paid on Completion. Our ref: Rx 262297 C6575C
