Location

This highly visible business is situated on a prime main arterial road in the major town of Pudsey, West Yorshire, which is a busy residential, industrial & commercial centre touching the outskirts of both Leeds & Bradford. It is in the centre of a terraced row of complementary shops and businesses. There is the added advantage of having on road parking directly outside the shop. There are many other important towns within a short drive. The M601 (leading to the cross Pennines M62 giving easy connections to the national motorway network) is accessed from a dual carriageway just seconds from this renowned manufacturer of fine baked foods.


Business History

Meridian Business Sales are delighted to offer for sale this long established , well known and highly regarded business that our client took over 17 years ago having first been an employee of the previous owner. It was founded in 1957, originally as a butchery company, which developed into a craftsman manufacturer of delicious pies of various kinds, (Yorkshire pasties & sausage rolls, offered fresh or frozen, are a speciality). It is only now becoming available owing to our clients' wish to retire. There is tremendous scope to further develop this thriving business by the introduction of new lines and by further development of the customer base should a new owner wish to increase the already impressive £76,000 turnover. All fixtures and fittings are included in the sale price and the current owner has expressed a willingness to assist the new owner(s) in any way during & after the handover.
