Turnkey market counter with steady takings and low overheads, sold for retirement..
Long-established butcher counter trading 43 years
A long-established butcher counter in Castleford Market Hall, offered for retirement sale after 43 years of continuous trading. The counter delivers steady weekly takings of £4,500–£5,000 and benefits from low overheads, no business rates and a reasonable council lease rent, making it a straightforward cash-positive opportunity for a new owner.
The unit is fitted for immediate trading: a wide-front chilled display counter, walk-in fridge with storage above and commercial butchery equipment are included. The market hall guarantees year-round footfall from a busy town-centre location and nearby amenities and schools support regular customer flow.
Important considerations: the business is leasehold — buyers must verify lease length and terms — and the asking price is for goodwill/fixtures rather than freehold property. The local area registers very high crime and very high deprivation indices, and broadband speeds are very slow, which may affect online ordering or digital operations. EPC is exempt.
This sale suits an ambitious young butcher ready to run their own counter, or an existing operator seeking an expansion site with established takings and low running costs. Prospective buyers should carry out full financial and lease due diligence and factor in local area risks when assessing future growth.
