FISH AND CHIPS SHOP in Bradford

A fantastic opportunity to acquire this highly profitable fish and chips shop which occupies a prime main road location in the heart of this densely populated district of Bradford. The business has been operated by our clients since 2017 during which time it has undergone an extensive refurbishment and built a strong reputation with loyal customer base.

Oozing potential for local operator to increase opening times and further boost trade. The main road premises are to be offered on a new lease with reasonable rent.
