You could own a popular Leicester fish and chip shop for just £72,500

Ever fancied turning your hand to frying fish and serving hungry families on a Friday night?

Now is your chance, as a busy fish and chip shop has been put up for sale in Leicester city centre.

Granby Fisheries, on Granby Street has been an established business since 1982 and is now on the market for just £72,500.

Potential owners would not only get a business for this price, but also a four bedroom property above the shop.

The current owner, who has ran the business for 11 years, has decided he needs a change from the industry and is looking to relocate.

But anyone thinking of a career change could be quids in if they bought this property.

Granby Fisheries has a high level of regular and repeat trade as well as passing trade brought in by its central location.

It also draws in more custom by selling kebabs and chicken as well as traditional fish and chips.

The turnover information found on the Rightmove listing for the property, is estimated to be £3,000 a week.

And there is potential to earn an extra £14,000 per year if you rent out the four rooms above the fish and chip shop.

The current owner runs the shop himself and employs just one part-time worker.

The business is already doing well but it is believed that a new owner could take the fish and chip shop further.

Veritas Business Sales' description on Rightmove says: "We believe there is further potential to increase trade by opening longer hours, opening on Sundays and maybe doing meal deals.

"The shop is also closed for 2 weeks in July and 2 weeks at Christmas so any new purchaser could continue to trade all year."

All the fixtures, fittings and equipment, which the owner has continually invested in, will be included in the sale, so the business is ready for a new owner to just walk into.
