Location

E Suck Butchers occupies an ideal trading position in a large parade of shops, situated in a busy shopping area in the heart of a large housing estate in the Parsons Cross area of Sheffield. The butcher’s is surrounded by a range of complementary shops and businesses and opposite a church. There is ample car parking in the vicinity and the parade is on a popular bus route. The business benefits from a high footfall and much passing trade. Sheffield city centre lies approximately 5 miles to the south and boasts a wealth of amenities. The area is easily accessible being just 3.5 miles from junction 35a of the M1 motorway. Barnsley lies 10 miles to the north, while Rotherham is 6 miles to the east.

Business History

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this popular butchers business, which was established by our client in 1992 and which is only now being placed on the market due to our client’s wish for a change of career. E Suck Butchers generates a turnover in the region of £156,000 per annum with a gross profit of 30% derived from the sale of fresh meats, general groceries, convenience lines, pies and pastries along with hot and cold sandwiches and bread sourced from a local bakery. The business also offers PayPoint facilities, which attracts many customers. A new owner could increase turnover by extending the opening hours and perhaps introducing a sandwich delivery round and external catering services. There is potential to embark on a modest marketing campaign as currently no advertising is undertaken. We feel this is an ideal opportunity to acquire a thriving butchers and grocery business with scope for future growth. Early viewing must come highly recommended.
