For sale is a unique and independent bakery in Staffordshire, boasting brilliant 5* reviews and being the only independent bakery in the local area.
With the shop operating as a bakery since the mid-1980s, the business was brought on by the current owners in 2003 and has built an established reputation within the local community.
The traditional family-run bakery makes fresh bread every day, with a variety of delicious fresh sandwiches to take away alongside pies, sausage rolls and their best-selling traditional pasties.
Seasonal cakes and bread are also available and the business itself has been recognised as a member of the Craft Bakers Association, with impressive reviews and a large number of return customers.
The family-run bakery is based in the north of Stafford and has been situated within the site for over 30 years, producing high-quality bread and cakes for generations of customers. The area has a 1600-home estate that is being completed across the road from the bakery's premises - a new school is also awaiting completion in 2024, with huge scope for a wide range of new customers to visit the bakery.
Located on a small shopping precinct of nine businesses, the bakery occupies a double unit on the ground floor (known as the ‘bakery side’ and the ‘shop side’).
The bakery comprises of high-standard baking equipment, a prep area, a stock room containing freezers, an office area and staff toilets. Additionally, the shop has a spacious customer area at the front with a counter and displays, two ovens, a washing up area and fridges.
The premises benefits from being recently refurbished and having ample free parking, as well as being close to a main bus route.
There is ample scope to continue growing this business. Expanding their catering sector (having previously provided lunches and sandwich platters for parties and events) would be a fantastic route to explore - as well as offering catering to weddings and other celebrations.
Their wholesale arm currently accounts for 50% of their total business, and given the limited amount of competition in the local area, this could easily be expanded on further.
Additionally, introducing social media marketing and promoting their products on platforms such as Facebook and Instagram would attract a wider customer base and be a great way to increase brand awareness, while also marketing to the new estate and school awaiting completion within the next 12 months.
