Turnkey deli with strong reviews and growth potential — short lease requires urgent attention..
Trading 50+ years with strong local loyalty and high online ratings
This turnkey deli occupies a generous 791 sq ft retail space in Hadleigh, Ipswich, trading under the same name for over 50 years and benefiting from strong local loyalty and excellent online reviews (4.8 TripAdvisor, 4.7 Google). The current fit-out is modern and ready for immediate trade, with a full deli counter, catering equipment and a curated retail section selling preserves, oils and hampers. Recent relocation to larger premises has already increased turnover and creates clear scope to expand trading hours, catering services or introduce an alcohol licence.
The business is suited to an experienced operator or an ambitious newcomer who can capitalise on the established customer base and high footfall. Practical positives include excellent mobile signal, low flood risk and a visible Victorian storefront that helps draw passing trade. The deli also offers outside catering and telephone orders, adding diversified income streams that support resilience in a small-town location.
Important cautions: the property is leasehold with only four years remaining on the lease—this materially limits mortgage options and many lenders may refuse to lend. Broadband speeds in the area are slow and local crime is above average, which could affect late-evening trade or staffing. Prospective buyers should verify lease terms, business accounts and lender requirements before committing. Despite these constraints, the business presents clear upside for a buyer who can secure suitable financing and build on the recent relocation and strong reputation.
