Competition:

Expansion potential:
This is a multi-faceted business, which could be developed and expanded in any number of areas:
The business is a specialist Vegetarian/Vegan/Gluten free cafe/restuarant and has developed an excellent reputation as a market leader in this field, utilising this area of speciality as a 'unique selling point'. However, the business is suitably presented and well equipped in order to enable the menu to be opened up and expanded to cover any type of cuisine.
It would also be possible to expand the sandwich bar aspect of the business, and to introduce local deliveries, outside catering services for buffets and functions etc.
The new owners could also consider expanding the opening hours to cover evenings and Sundays etc., possibly introducing speciality or Bistro evenings, functions, celebrations etc., perhaps with 'bring your own' wines and beers.
