CONCEPT AND BACKGROUND
Reardon’s has been in operation for many years, with the concept and businesses owned by the Links family. The business has superb trading history and is firmly established, providing an excellent level of revenue and profitability.
The brands are strongly defined, and the operation provides substantial snooker/pool income, resulting in a high level of both gross profit and underlying net profit. The business would be a great acquisition for private individuals wishing to continue with the existing concept, with clear growth prospects.
The business may also be of interest to multiple operators or venture capital companies who would look to develop the brand across the UK, given the clear business success.
