Summary - 2, COLLEGE AVENUE, WIGAN WN1 1DF
1 bed 1 bath Commercial Property
Turnkey two-floor venue with immediate growth potential through expanded hours.
Well-established bistro trading over 10 years with loyal customers
A well-established two-storey bistro in Wigan town centre, trading for over ten years with a loyal local customer base. The contemporary, well-maintained interior provides 32 covers downstairs and 26 upstairs, a licensed offering ancillary to food, and low operator costs that suit an owner-operator or investor wanting immediate takings. The business currently trades limited hours (c.26 hours per week), presenting straightforward scope to increase turnover by extending opening hours, marketing, or hosting events.
The location benefits from excellent passing footfall, immediate access to bus and train stations, and a busy retail/service environment nearby. The area has regeneration proposals (new theatre, luxury apartments) which could increase daytime and evening trade. Practical advantages include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, and an experienced part-time team in place (eight staff).
Important tenure and area notes: source information lists the property as freehold but also describes a rolling three-year rental lease and leasehold terms — this discrepancy must be clarified by a buyer. The local socio-economic indicators show high deprivation and constrained local spending power, which may limit premium trading unless the business broadens its catchment or capitalises on new local development.
This opportunity suits a buyer who wants an established operation with immediate trading potential and clear growth levers — extending hours, events, and increased marketing. Some buyers may prefer to verify tenancy/lease documentation and review accounts before purchase to confirm terms and earnings.
