The Knot Churros Franchise Resale, Gallions Reach, East London

An established and trading Knot Churros franchise is available for resale at Gallions Reach Shopping Park in Beckton, East London.

The business trades from a fitted, purpose-built kiosk in the park’s landscaped outdoor seating area, alongside a green wall and illuminated feature signage that draws customers in and gets the site photographed and shared. The unit is fully branded and fitted out, with illuminated signage, a powered retractable awning, a full serving counter, soft serve and shake equipment, and an EPOS system.

It trades seven days a week, Monday to Saturday from 10am to 8pm and Sunday from 11am to 5pm, with current sales of £8,000 to £10,000 a month.

Fixed costs are low and predictable. Rent is £14,500 a year with no separate electricity or water bills.

The Knot Churros launched in London in 2019 and has built a following well beyond its trading sites, with licensed partnerships including Disney, Care Bears and LOL Surprise, over 200,000 social media followers and individual videos reaching eight million views. The brand now trades across the UK and in Malta.

The sale includes the fully fitted kiosk and all equipment needed to trade, stock at valuation, and an established customer base. Full training on the products, equipment and service is provided before handover, with ongoing franchisor support covering marketing, supplier arrangements and performance reviews.

Why this suits a hands-on owner

The current owners have never worked in the business themselves. They have full-time careers elsewhere and have run the unit through a staff member, so it has never had the attention an owner operator would give it. The site has traded at higher levels in the past than it does today.

That is the opportunity. Wages are the largest single cost, so an owner working the counter themselves takes that cost out and takes the upside at the same time. There is further ground to make up on birthday bookings, corporate catering and delivery app partnerships, none of which the site is currently making the most of.

This is an underworked site rather than a struggling one, in a strong location, under a brand with real reach. It will suit someone who wants to be there day to day.

No previous catering experience is needed. Full training is provided.
