This established dessert bar on St Albans Road occupies a busy trading corner in Lytham St Annes and has been recently refurbished to a high standard. The turnkey fit-out includes specialist equipment (waffle and crepe machines, display fridges, ovens, air fryer, electronic till and menu display) and a stylish dining area ready for dine-in, takeaway, click & collect or delivery trade. Seasonal tourist uplift and nearby convenience retailers boost footfall year-round.
The business is offered as a leasehold sale with all fixtures and fittings included in the ingoing price of £8,000. Trading hours are currently limited with clear scope to add morning coffee trade and extend opening times to increase turnover. The premises also provide useful external seating on wrap-around block paving, rear loading access and one staff parking space.
Buyers should note the material constraint: there are only five years remaining on the lease (started April 2023) with a three-year tenant break clause and a rent of £895 pcm. This short lease term is likely to restrict mortgage lending and will suit an operator able to negotiate lease terms or purchase with cash. The area records higher crime and some local deprivation indicators — prudent buyers should factor security and local initiatives into operating costs.
This listing will suit an experienced operator or investor seeking a ready-to-run, well-presented dessert concept in a busy coastal town. Viewing is recommended to assess the quality of the fit-out, seating layout and delivery set-up before progressing.
