Hi Sabor Espresso friends. We wanted to share some updates that some of you are already aware of. We have officially put the business up for sale.... Brenda and I love the coffee shop but we are heading a new direction and sadly we will be selling the coffee shop. Our goal is to have another entrepreneur come along and buy the business and continue to run it as we have run it since opening. The business is being sold 100% turnkey, meaning you can simply take over and everything is included. If you would like more information about the business, please contact our agent Rod Fess directly at (519) 410-1265 or view the listing on Realtor at: https://www.realtor.ca/real-esta//11-norfolk-street-simcoe In the meantime we continue to run the business as usual and serve delicious coffee, tea, espresso based drinks and tasty treats. . . . #saborespresso #coffeeshopforsale #cafeforsale #simcoebusinessforsale #simcoecoffee #simcoecafe #519norfolk #norfolkcounty
