Meals on wheels business for sale
Torbay, Devon
A well renowned ‘meals on wheels’ business which specialises in home delivery to the elderly which has been successfully established for many years and is now being reluctantly placed onto the open market for the first time. It only currently provides lunch time meals although there is tremendous demand and opportunity for breakfast, evening meals and ancillary services to be provided. This South Devon business has successfully grown organically for many years, but with more targeted advertising, we can foresee the existing impressive turnover more than double. Trading from morning to early afternoon from low-cost premises and with the ability to easily relocate. Early viewings are highly recommended.
Situated in a sought-after coastal town in South Devon. The premises benefit from high passing pedestrian and vehicle traffic which generates advertising and awareness of the service being provided. They are a converted retail premises which benefit from low rent and overheads. These premises could easily be relocated within its geographical area without the need to take over the current lease.
The business has been operating successfully for over ten years and under its current owners has gone from strength to strength. It is run by a husband-and-wife team with an array of part time and self-employed drivers. It’s a seven-day a week operation and the hours are normally from morning when the food prep is required, after which it’s on to the delivery drivers who collect / deliver and the whole operation is finished by 2.30 pm until the following morning. We, the agents, feel this could easily be scaled up with breakfasts/ evening meals and ancillary services or simply be incorporated into another meals on wheels or similar business. Actual trading accounts will be provided following a formal successful viewing.
