Kelly’s Bakery is a highly popular traditional bakery located in south west of Edinburgh within Sighthill Shopping Centre. Housed within a bustling shopping centre which is positioned in the heart of a highly populated residential area located only a short drive from the city centre and the Edinburgh City Bypass, the leasehold bakery has been serving the local community for over therty years, and it has become a significant part of the local area.

The bakery offers a wide range of freshly baked goods, including cakes, pastries, bread, and sandwiches, all made from high-quality ingredients. One of the unique features of Kelly’s Bakery is its commitment to using locally sourced ingredients. The bakery is dedicated to supporting local suppliers, and use only the freshest and highest quality ingredients in their products.

This commitment to using locally sourced ingredients not only ensures that the bakery’s products are of the highest quality but also supports the local economy. Along with a loyal staff base, our client caters to a wide range of customers from the sizable local community. In addition the business sees a large amount of passing trade from local businesses and workers in the area. Kelly’s bakery is also known for its friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The staff is always ready to answer any questions customers may have and offer suggestions on what to try. The bakery is a popular spot for locals to stop in to pick up a quick breakfast or something for lunch.  With a dedication to quality, service and the friendly atmosphere, makes Kelly’s Bakery a standout bakery within the area.

The bakery’s most popular products are its freshly baked bread, cakes and pastries, all of which is made in-house daily. The impressively kitted out bakery, which is housed in the rear shop, is fitted out to a high quality modern standard. Kelly’s Bakery relies on a variety of machines and equipment to produce high-quality baked goods efficiently. These machines and equipment are designed to streamline the baking process and ensure that the final products meet the bakery’s standards.

The owner operated business has seen trading over recent years continue to grow which has resulted in a impressive level of net profits enjoyed at Kellys Bakery. While trading levels are strong, our client would strongly suggest that if desired by a new owner, the business could quite easily increase the already healthy levels of trade.

From opening the shop on a Sunday morning, as our client previously did, a new owner could look to achieve a additional income of around £1,000 per week from this one change, such is the untapped demand for quality bakery goods from the local community. This relatively easily achieved extra income would be a significant increase in revenue. This additional income could be used to cover costs such as rent, electricity, and wages, which would ultimately help the bakery to become more profitable.

Another area that could greatly boost trading levels is with the fully equipped rear bakery. Through choice of our clients, the bakery only supplies goods for the shop and does not offer wholesale. A enterprising new owner could potentially see income increase substantially by taking advantage of the rear bakery. Kelly’s Bakery has established itself as a popular and well-respected bakery in south west Edinburgh. With its commitment to quality ingredients and friendly service, the bakery has built a loyal customer base. However, there is a potential for growth in the business by offering wholesale to other retailers. Here are some potential growth areas that Kelly’s bakery could explore: there is a potential for growth in the business by offering wholesale to other retailers.

Some potential growth areas that new owners of Kelly’s Bakery could explore Cafes and Restaurants: Kelly’s Bakery could partner with local cafes and restaurants to supply them with freshly baked bread, pastries, and desserts.

By offering wholesale to these businesses, the bakery could increase its revenue and expand its reach to new customers. Supermarkets: The bakery could also explore the possibility of supplying supermarkets with its products. Supermarkets are always looking for high-quality, locally sourced products to offer their customers, and Kelly’s Bakery would be a perfect fit. By offering wholesale to supermarkets, the bakery could reach a wider audience and increase its brand recognition. Online Retail: Another potential growth area is the online retail market. With the rise of e-commerce, more and more consumers are looking to purchase products online. By offering its products through an online retail platform, the bakery could reach customers beyond its local area and expand its customer base. Catering: Kelly’s Bakery could also explore the catering market by offering its products to businesses and individuals for events and parties. By offering high-quality, freshly baked products, the bakery could become a popular choice for catering services and increase its revenue.

Wholesale to other Bakeries: Finally, Kelly’s Bakery could consider offering wholesale to other bakeries. This would allow other bakeries to offer Kelly’s Bakery products to their customers, while also providing the bakery with an additional revenue stream.

After a highly rewarding period of ownership, our client has only now decided to offer the business for sale due to a wish to retire.
