A historic sandwich shop in Bilton, Warwickshire has gone up for sale.
Granny’s Sandwich Shop, which is registered as Granny’s Pies and housed within a Grade II listed Tudor building, has operated as a catering business for over 80 years.
The current owners, who took it over six years ago, are said to have built a business which has an ‘established reputation for making and selling high-quality sandwiches, breads, pies, pasties, cakes and sweet treats, using locally sourced produce’.
Currently open six days a week, Granny’s Sandwich Shop offers takeaway and delivery service, and regularly caters for business lunches, family gatherings and community social events.
Its current menu includes many bread options such as white and granary farmhouse loaves, wholemeal bloomers, sourdough, olive plaits, and a sundried tomato plait. Sweet treats, meanwhile, include the likes of lardy cake, apple pies, Bakewell tarts, and Battenburg.
For the financial year ending July 2023, the latest available, the business’ turnover was £138k with adjusted net profit of £42k.
The business is described as a ‘local institution’. “Granny’s has been part of the community in Bilton for generations,” said the current owners. “We love that we frequently serve grandparents who came to Granny’s as children and now bring their grandchildren for treats. We aim to make every bite a comforting taste of home for our customers, young, old and everyone in between, whether they are at work or just enjoying a stroll to the village.”
Granny’s is located in the heart of the village of Bilton, surrounded by other local businesses, retailers, play areas, walking routes, and a village green, with its historic display of stocks last used in 1846. The building is recognised on the National Heritage List for England as a protected site.
Dean Woodhouse, Business Agent at Christie & Co which is managing the property listing, said: “This is a fantastic opportunity to be a part of Warwickshire’s history by purchasing a well-established business that has been recognised by locals in the village of Bilton for the best part of a century.
“Granny’s Sandwich Shop is an ideal business for someone looking to give up the standard, nine-to-five working day and take on the challenge of operating a lifestyle business. There is also a golden opportunity here for new owners to increase revenue by extending the trading hours, developing the delivery service and building new partnerships within the local business community.
