The Business
The Salty Dog opened in 2011 and has since operated as a successful greengrocer’s, offering a range of exotic fruits and vegetables as well as fresh fish.
Previously, the first floor was used as a pop-up Tapas Bar which we understand was both popular and successful. This has closed due to our client’s other business commitments.
Accounts for the year ended 2025 show a net turnover of £244,000, with an adjusted net profit of over £35,000. It must be noted that in the year 2024, turnover was £277,000 net of VAT with an adjusted net profit of £51,000. Our client advises that the recent reduction in profit is a consequence of his hiring additional staff for personal reasons.
The business’s operating hours are:
Sunday – Closed
Monday to Friday – 9am to 4.30pm
Saturday – 9am to 2.30pm
Our client is a sole proprietor, and prospective purchasers will see there is potential to increase the net profit by operating the business as a joint venture/couple. There is also potential to use the rear utility room as a commercial catering kitchen, enabling a food/drinks service to be introduced as an additional revenue stream.
