Two Bakeries & Wholesalers - Greater Manchester [SK15 1NF]

- About
G&N Carr Bakers Ltd was established over a hundred years ago and has been in our client's family since 1959. The original shop on Ridge Hill Lane, Stalybridge is still operating and the newer shop on Mossley Road, Ashton-under-Lyne was opened due to expansion in 1997. This long standing and well known business offers a range of freshy baked produce and has built a very strong base of regular customers. Both shops also benefit from a huge amount of passing trade due to these two excellent trading positions. Our client has ensured the business has an excellent reputation and superb reviews are noted online.

The business is ideally suited to a hands-on owner-operator but due to our client's retirement plans, the business is offered for sale. This presents an excellent opportunity for a new owner-operator or team to take the business to the next level.
