Blacks Business Brokers Completes Successful Sale Of Two Subways

Blacks Business Brokers is proud to announce the successful sale of two highly sought-after Subway branches located in the heart of York. This transaction marks another milestone in the firm’s commitment to providing professional, seamless business sales for both buyers and sellers across the UK. These two Subway locations, established by the previous owner in 2013 and 2014, have thrived in two of the city’s most affluent and busiest areas, building strong reputations and loyal customer bases. The stores also benefit from substantial passing trade due to their prime trading positions.

As part of the largest fast-food chain in the world, with nearly 35,000 stores across more than 90 countries, these Subway branches in York are fully supported by a globally recognized franchise. This includes high-visibility signage, national advertising campaigns, product delivery, and ongoing operational training. A new owner will be interviewed and trained by Subway, with two weeks of initial hands-on instruction provided to ensure a smooth transition.

The previous owner, having successfully run these businesses for a decade, decided to focus on other business interests, creating an exceptional opportunity for a new owner-operator or team to take the businesses to the next level. With strong foundations already in place, including a loyal customer base and established operational processes, these Subway stores represent a highly attractive acquisition in the competitive fast-food market.

The Blossom Street store is situated on one of the main routes into York city centre and is in close proximity to York Racecourse, which generates significant passing trade. The Pavement store, meanwhile, is located near the city’s top attractions and directly opposite the famous York Shambles, attracting both locals and tourists alike. These locations are supported by excellent public transport links, parking, and connectivity via the A64, making them easily accessible to staff and customers.

The premises of both branches are designed to facilitate efficient operation while offering a welcoming customer experience. The Blossom Street branch occupies an impressive rotunda property with a fully glazed frontage and prominent signage. Inside, the counter and servery are positioned at the front, with a preparation area and storage room located on the first floor. The Pavement store is housed on the ground floor of a spacious terraced property, also featuring a fully glazed frontage and prominent branding. The servery and counter are positioned at the front, with preparation and storage areas to the rear. Both stores are fully equipped and presented to a high standard, ensuring minimal operational disruption for a new owner.
