Former premises of Yungnien Chinese Takeaway for sale

After 40 years of trade, Yungnien, a family-run Chinese Takeaway, closed its doors for good in May 2021.

(Image: Rightmove) The property was bought in 1981 by Jim’ Sun-Kwai and ‘Jean’ Miu-Chun, who opened Yungnien Chinese Takeaway, which ran for four decades.

Ten years before it shut, the running of the business was passed on to their son Gavin Choi.

As ‘Jim’ entered his 80s and the Covid-19 Pandemic sent the UK into a Lockdown, the family decided it was the ‘perfect’ time to retire.

Now, more than three years after the owners announced their ‘tough decision’ to shut up shop, the building has been listed for sale.

It is looking for offers in the region of £185,000.

The ‘ideal’ residential unit is advertised as a ‘ready to walk into’ takeaway with a large, seated waiting area and ‘spacious’ six-bedroom owners’ accommodation.

As well as kitchen appliances and cooking equipment, the premises boasts four large display windows at the front.

“Calling all entrepreneurs" the listing says, “We are pleased to bring to the market this ideal business venture.

“The property is priced to sell and would suit a variety of buyers looking for a new business venture.”
