Blacks Business Brokers Facilitates Successful Sale Of Fresh Bites
Blacks Business Brokers is proud to announce the successful sale of Fresh Bites, a popular and well-established sandwich shop and breakfast café located in a high-footfall residential area close to the centre of Bury. Established in 2014, Fresh Bites quickly became a local favourite by serving freshly made breakfasts, sandwiches, sweet treats, and hot and cold drinks to a loyal base of regulars and a steady stream of passing trade. Known for its warm, welcoming atmosphere and consistently high standards, the business earned a strong reputation within the local community and beyond.
Fresh Bites has operated for nearly a decade under the same ownership, building not only an impressive customer base but also a solid foundation of goodwill. With its prime corner location on a busy road, the business has long benefitted from a mix of residential and commercial footfall, being surrounded by schools, supermarkets, garages, independent retailers, and industrial units. Excellent road access via the M66 and strong public transport links made it easily accessible, and convenient parking directly outside only added to its appeal.
Trading from a single-storey, corner-positioned premises, Fresh Bites made a big impression with its visible branding and practical layout. The interior featured a comfortable dining area for twelve customers, a well-equipped kitchen, food preparation area, and necessary staff facilities. Everything was presented to a high standard and fully equipped, including a glass display chiller, pie warmer, griddle, commercial ovens, and all essential catering appliances – making it a turnkey operation for a new owner to step straight into.
Blacks Business Brokers were chosen to market and sell Fresh Bites due to their strong track record in selling independent food and beverage businesses and their deep understanding of the market. The process was overseen by Sales Negotiator Megan Sutherst, who worked closely with the seller to prepare a compelling listing, manage buyer enquiries, and ensure a smooth transaction from start to finish.
Reflecting on the sale, Megan said: “Fresh Bites was a fantastic little business with a loyal customer base, excellent location, and bags of potential. It was clear from our first conversation with the seller that this was a business built on hard work and local trust. I’m delighted we were able to find a buyer who sees the same value in the opportunity and is ready to take it forward.”
Blacks’ national buyer network, targeted marketing, and proactive sales process helped ensure the business received strong interest shortly after listing. With its accessible price point, low overheads, and untapped potential – including extending the opening hours beyond the current 7am to 12pm, offering delivery, or enhancing online visibility – it appealed to both experienced operators and first-time buyers alike.
This sale once again showcases the value of working with a specialist broker like Blacks. Selling a small business can be a personal, emotional, and sometimes complex process. With years of experience and a team that understands the realities of running and selling a business, Blacks offers a structured and supportive path from listing to completion. Their hands-on, tailored service means sellers can focus on their day-to-day operations while the brokerage handles the sales process with care and professionalism.
Fresh Bites may now have new ownership, but its strong brand, central location, and dedicated customer base remain its greatest assets – providing a springboard for continued growth and success. The new owner will be well-placed to build upon what’s already been achieved, potentially expanding the menu, extending trading hours, or investing in digital ordering platforms to modernise the offering.
