Surrounded by 4 pubs and clubs within 50 yards, the shop benefits from consistent late-night trade, while a nearby college and newly opened gym bring in students and health-conscious customers seeking healthy menu options throughout the day.

With the current owner expanding their business interests, this is an excellent opportunity for a new vendor to take over a well-established, profitable operation with strong brand presence, high visibility, and untapped growth potential.

Run by a manager, with 2 full-time and 1 part-time staff handling day-to-day operations. The owner oversees business transitions and overall management, assisting on Saturdays and one other day per week.

The shop spans approximately 26 feet in width, featuring a 6-8 seating area, a food preparation section, and a back-end area for freezer, fridge, and drinks storage. The décor consists of wood flooring, a suspended ceiling, a double hood, a wooden counter, and steel sheet walls.

The first floor houses a prep table, storage shelves, a sink, 2 freezers, and 1 fridge. The second floor includes a small room, a medium-sized room, and a bathroom that could be rented out for extra income.

Despite no formal advertising, the business thrives on word-of-mouth and online visibility, consistently attracting new and repeat customers. With a strong local presence and high demand, this is a turnkey opportunity for a new owner to take over and grow an already successful operation.

With minimal advertising, the business relies on word-of-mouth and organic online searches, presenting an opportunity to boost sales through digital marketing and social media campaigns. Expanding home delivery services and listing on additional platforms could further increase revenue.

Operating on Sundays, which the business currently does not do, could attract more weekend customers, while adding traditional Turkish dishes such as shish kebabs and lamb kofte could broaden its customer base.

With high foot traffic from students, gym-goers, and late-night revellers, introducing special promotions or loyalty programs could enhance customer retention. The two additional rooms on the second floor also offer rental income opportunities. This business is primed for growth, with multiple avenues for expansion in services, marketing, and operational hours.
