BAKERS & CONFECTIONERS

Sandwich, pie shop and cake makers. Our client's father started the business at premises nearby in 1922, and our client has owned this particular business since 1985, although a bakers has been on this site from the 1930s. The business is only now coming to market due to our client's wish to retire. The business has built up an enviable reputation for its freshly made sandwiches, famous pies, (over a thousand sold per week), its ranges of cakes and, until recently, its 'hotpot suppers'. The business currently enjoys an annual turnover of £150,000 with a gross profit of a staggering 70%, yet there remains infinite scope to develop turnover further as the business is run very much at a pace to suit our client. Our client is contacted weekly to provide pies and cakes for other business to sell, provide hotpot suppers, which have been so popular in the past, cater buffets for local business, weddings, funerals and christenings. They used to provide wedding cakes and various other celebration cakes as well as the delivery of lunches to the businesses surrounding the shop. With the effort our clients have previously put into the business, a new owner could easily treble the present income levels. In addition the premises boast a one bedroom flat above the deceptively large shop and work areas, with planning permission for a further two bedrooms to be built over the garage. This really is a particularly attractive purchase of a well renowned bakers. Early discussions with Bag a Business must come highly recommended.

Hagues the Bakers is situated on the busy B6390, just off the A635 Manchester Road and close to the M60 in the Tameside area of Manchester. The shop enjoys some off-road parking and extremely high volumes of passing trade, either on foot or by car. There are many schools and businesses in the immediate area that use the shop on a daily basis.
