Established in August 1979, this much-loved burger takeaway has earned a unique place in Northampton’s food scene. So ingrained in local culture, customers often say they are “going for a Midwest” rather than simply a burger. Generations of families continue to return, with children and grandchildren of the original patrons now loyal regulars.
Renowned for hand-crafting 100% beef burgers and serving freshly cooked steak fries, the business combines quality food with warm, personal service. It holds a 5-star hygiene rating and has successfully adapted to modern trading by embracing online ordering and delivery, while still attracting a strong walk-in customer base.
Open Tuesday to Saturday from 5pm to 9pm, the business runs on modest hours, offering clear potential for growth. Extended opening times or partnerships with additional delivery platforms beyond Deliveroo could significantly increase sales.
All equipment is included in the sale, making this a ready-to-run opportunity. With an unrivalled reputation built over 46 years and a community that considers it a local institution, this is an exciting prospect for buyers seeking a thriving food outlet with plenty of scope to expand.
The premises feature a cellar dry store with chest freezers and racking, a ground floor with customer area, open cooking/serving station, fridge room, prep space, and a purpose-built store for out-of-hours deliveries.
The first floor has 3 rooms (2 for storage, one staff toilet/washroom) with separate access, offering potential for conversion to accommodation subject to landlord approval.
Quality equipment includes a large US-imported chargrill, Valentine fryers, Fosters fridges, numerous chest freezers, an EPOS till, Coca-Cola fridge, and a professionally maintained 3-phase extraction system with new gas interlock.
The shop runs efficiently with a well-laid-out layout for smooth operations. Currently trading 20 hours per week (Tues–Sat, 5–9pm) with walk-in, online, and Deliveroo orders.
Staff: 1 full-time and 5 part-time.
All equipment included.
There is considerable scope to expand by increasing opening hours beyond the current 20 hours per week, capturing additional walk-in trade and delivery orders.
The business could partner with other delivery providers to broaden reach and boost sales.
Marketing efforts could be introduced or expanded to attract new customers and re-engage existing patrons.
The separate upstairs access also presents the unique opportunity to convert the space into accommodation, subject to landlord permission, potentially enhancing the business’s asset base.
These strategic expansions combined with the business’s stellar reputation and quality offering present an excellent platform for growth and increased profitability.
