Nuneaton chippy that has served customers for more than three decades up for sale



A Nuneaton chippy that has served customers for more than three decades is hoping to net a new owner. Fry-days on Coleshill Road is up for sale.

The chippy, formerly known as Triple A chippy, has been a part of the community for more than 30 years and, according to Rightmove, has 'untapped potential' as it currently does offer delivery service. Its current owners have put it on the market for a leasehold price of £225,000.

"We believe that there is potential to increase trade by expanding upon the current opening times, by joining the online delivery portals such as Just Eat, Deliveroo and Uber eats and by having an owner operator at the helm," the website states. "The business already enjoys a strong reputation within the local community and beyond and as such has a high level of regular and repeat trade along with many passers by."

The website add: "This is a superb opportunity to purchase a very well fitted business with untapped potential which is a great base to build upon and as such early viewing is highly recommended." Fry-days is currently overseen by the owner but operated daily by a team of three full-time and three part-time members of staff. Its turn-over is split 70 per cent on fish and chip trade, with the remaining from pizzas.

Famed Nuneaton chippy serving customers for more than 120 years closes



A Famed Nuneaton chippy that has served customers for more than 120 years has closed. Yesterday (Saturday, March 16) Toppers in Stratford Street wrapped up its last fish and chips.

Generations have grown up with the chippy, which was first opened in 1912. But the family run eatery has now closed.

A post on its page on Facebook explained that the current owner, who has worked there for four decades, is retiring. But it hints that it could be re-opened - if a new owner is found.

"After 40 years Andrew, the owner of Toppers, has retired on reaching the age of 80 so the shop will close temporarily until a new and suitable owner can be found," the post reads. "Andrew and his family wish to thank all of Topper's customers and staff, past and present, for a wonderful journey."

Toppers has been one of the cornerstone businesses in the town centre, famed for having both a takeaway and also restaurant. People have been popping in for a cone of chips, or a sit-down fish and chip meal with a cuppa for years.

Thought to be one of the longest established fish and chip shops in the UK, it is on the market again. It was first up for sale in 2022, then was put back up for sale last year.

It's the opposite in Holland. New chip shops are opening all the time and there are now more per head of the population than there are in Britain!
