This freehold commercial unit on Central Drive is offered at auction on Monday 27th October 2025. Previously operated as a fish and chip shop, the sale includes commercial appliances and fixtures valued at approximately £30,000 — a significant saving for an incoming operator. The unit sits on a busy route close to the promenade, the football stadium and town centre, providing strong passing trade and tourist footfall.
The shop offers a street-level storefront with roller shutter and an existing commercial kitchen/utility area. The internal space is modest with a low ceiling in the kitchen and is best suited to a small takeaway or similar retail operation. The property was previously let at £5,200 per year, indicating rental potential, but is currently marketed for redevelopment or immediate use.
Buyers should note clear drawbacks: the area records very high crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which may affect insurance and security costs. The unit requires renovation and upgrading to modern standards — including potential kitchen refurbishment and general maintenance — and the layout is not suitable for residential conversion without significant work. Broadband speeds are average though mobile signal is excellent.
This opportunity will suit investors or hands-on operators seeking an affordable foothold near Blackpool’s attractions, buyers able to manage security and refurbishment, or entrepreneurs wanting included equipment to start trading quickly. No flood risk is recorded and the plot size is described as decent, supporting a practical working layout once renovated.
