Our client has owned the business for around nine years and is now looking to sell due to retirement. The business trades well as a cinema and is very popular with locals and tourists however, given it's waterfront location, it could also lend itself to other developments such as residential apartments (subject to planning consent).
The vacant restaurant which is adjoined to the cinema is not trading at present due to the way our client chooses to manage the business thus presenting opportunity for a new owner to generate extra income from what is already being generated from the existing business.
