About this business
**CONFIDENTIAL SALE – MODERN FOOD & BEVERAGE BUSINESS – DERRY CITY**
An excellent opportunity to acquire a recently established, fully operational food and beverage business in a prominent Derry city-centre location, close to educational institutions, commercial activity and key visitor areas.
Approximately **£80,000 has been invested** in establishing and modernising the business, including commercial kitchen equipment, refrigeration, furniture, interior fit-out, branding and signage.
The business currently generates approximately **£2,000–£3,000 in weekly turnover**, despite being relatively new and operating with significant scope for further development.
The business serves a varied customer base, including students, local workers, shoppers and visitors, offering breakfast products, hot food, pizzas, coffee, smoothies and healthy meal options.
**Major Regeneration and Growth Opportunities**
The location stands to benefit from the proposed **£45 million Central Riverfront Project**, which includes improvements to Strand Road and Queens Quay, redesigned public spaces, improved pedestrian access and greater priority for public transport.
These proposals could create additional pedestrian activity, improve access to nearby businesses and strengthen the area's appeal to tourists, students and city-centre visitors.
There is also potential for increased tourist coach activity in the immediate area through future transport arrangements. A proposed coach pick-up and drop-off location right outside the premises.
The surrounding area is also benefiting from significant university expansion ambitions, including the long-term objective of growing Ulster University's Derry campus to approximately **10,000 students**.
Further student accommodation is proposed along Strand Road, including developments totalling approximately 849 bedspaces, alongside other approved student housing projects. These developments could substantially increase the local student population and demand for convenient food and beverage services.
**Further Business Growth Potential**
The business has not yet fully developed its delivery, evening trading or wider online ordering opportunities, providing considerable scope for an incoming owner to increase turnover.
The sale includes the complete business, owned equipment, branding, website, signage, fixtures, fittings and goodwill, subject to an agreed inventory.
Selling due to ill health otherwise woulnt be on the market.
Offered as a going concern, with lease assignment subject to landlord consent or alternative lease arrangements.
**Strictly confidential sale. Further details available to genuine purchasers following appropriate confidentiality arrangements.**
