A takeaway that the current boss say takes upwards of £7,000 a week has been put up for sale.
Krispy’s fried chicken shop, on Tong Street, is being sold by owner Saafraz Rangzeb.
Mr Rangzeb, who says he has worked in the banking sector for nearly 20 years, opened the business three years ago.
His brother helped him set up the outlet.

Why is he selling up?
Mr Rangzeb says the shop can make more than £7,000 in a busy week, but his job and family commitments mean he can no longer run it.
He was once able to put his "heart and soul" into operating the business - but he knows the time has come to hand over the keys.
He hopes a new owner can give the popular takeaway a fresh start, warning that running a business takes serious commitment.
He said: "Running a business is work, work, work everyday. You don't get holidays."
Inside the shop
Popular in Holme Wood
Mr Rangzeb said: "It is very popular with the locals and the Holme Wood estate.
“At our peak, sales were more than £7,000 a week.”
"Sadly I have to spend more hours at the bank and also have family commitments.
"The business is still running but needs fresh boots on the ground and new ideas."
The business specialises in fried chicken
Potential to go further
The current tenant believes a determined new owner could take the popular takeaway even further.
He said: “We mainly focus on fried chicken, but there's massive potential to add new things to the menu.”
The business is on the market for £29,000.
The existing lease has four years left, although the seller says this is negotiable.
The shop sits opposite Prince's factory and behind Torque warehouse, both of which employ hundreds of people.
A nearby KFC has also shut in recent years.
The business owner claims that during peak times they make as much as 7k a week
'A ready set up business'
Mr Rangzeb added: “At £29,000, it's hard to open a fried chicken business from scratch because the specialist machines are so expensive.
“So you are getting a ready-set-up business with machines, already running day to day, for a fantastic price.”
