The subject property occupies an outstanding and highly visible trading position with little in the way of direct local competition in the very select and strategically-located village of Woore, which lies with excellent access both to major road and motorway links (A51, A525 and M6 etc.) and to the nearby centres of Whitchurch, Nantwich, Crewe and Newcastle-under-Lyme in an affluent semi-rural area on the Shropshire, Cheshire and Staffordshire borders.

We are delighted to present this fantastic opportunity to acquire the valuable freehold rights to a thriving income producing home of exceptional quality and outstanding future possibilities, which we are confident you will agree represents genuine value.

This old established and highly regarded, family-run business currently primarily conducts an extremely popular sales operation of a superb range of bakery products, including real, homemade artisan breads and morning goods, with an excellent choice of associated savouries and indulgent patisserie also available.

All the bakery’s products are prepared daily on the premises in its extensively equipped commercial catering facilities employing traditional handcrafted methods and only the finest quality organic, low-salt and additive-free ingredients, including non-bleached flour, with a prompt delivery service provided in a small fleet of well maintained and fully signwritten vehicles which are to be included in the sale price.

“Snapes Bakery” supplies its products to a long-standing and still-expanding repeat and referral, ‘one off’ and regular wholesale trade account client base of retail and catering establishments drawn from throughout Shropshire, Cheshire and Staffordshire, in addition to conducting a popular retail operation directly to the general public from its extremely well fitted in-house shop premises, and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with considerable scope for continued growth, not least with regard to operating hugely extended hours in order to exploit the full potential production and sales capacity of its facilities.

The business would also benefit by adopting a more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing products and services, particularly with reference to the possible introduction of online ordering through its own dedicated website and to further development of its social media presence, in order to improve upon the already impressive levels of turnover it has achieved in the course of some forty highly successful years’ trading in the hands of the current husband and wife proprietors, with the aid only of a small, experienced and motivated team of two full-time staff who would be an asset to any purchaser.
Alternatively, this versatile proposition would most certainly appeal to some similar-sized or larger allied enterprise looking to very significantly increase its existing share of the professional retail and wholesale craft bakery solutions services market by the acquisition of a dynamic and extremely well located additional specialist independent operator with a priceless local name, a superb market- leading product range and an already impressive private and trade customer base, and we would unreservedly recommend a viewing.
