One of Northern Ireland’s most well-known and established craft bakeries has entered the property market for sale as a going concern.
The Windsor Bakery’s Banbridge shop has for decades been a staple of the high street.
Since its founding in 1957, the sumptuous smells of freshly baked bread and buns permeates the length of Newry Street, drawing passersby in through their trademark cream-painted, glass doors.
Today, the family business is owned and operated by John and Linda Edwards, who each bring their own years of baking talent to the table.
Among the vast array of tasty treats on offer, those in Banbridge will know all too well that you can’t beat a Windsor Bakery sausage roll!
So renowned are their wares that the business was even recognised for a whopping 23 years with the coveted Bridgestone Award for ‘Best in Ireland’.
As recommended by John and Sally McKenna, the Bridgestone Guide’s Plaque is the most respected badge of merit in Irish contemporary food, awarded only to those who are exceptional at what they do.
In 2020, the mainstay business was rocked, as many were, by the Covid pandemic.
In August of that incredibly challenging year, the couple announced the closure of two additional branches, in Lurgan and Lisburn.
But their flagship store stayed the course.
Today, that flagship store is being presented as an exciting opportunity for a new set of floury hands to make some dough!
Marketed as a going concern, the premises comes fully equipped and “thriving”.
It comprises a double fronted retail area and fully fitted bakery to the rear and has the benefit of offices overhead and rear access.
The agent, Property Partners Laurence Gunne, describes it as a “beloved local institution and priding itself on quality and service”.
They add: “This family run business offers an excellent opportunity to acquire a successful and established bakery in the heart of one of Northern Ireland’s most sought after locations yet offering further potential for growth and expansion.”
Price is available on application.
Interested parties should contact Property Partners Laurence Gunne directly for more information.
