UK Chain Acquires Guernsey's Best Fish and Chip Shop for £1 Million
## Boost for Island as UK Chain Acquires Family-Run Fish and Chip Shop for £1m
A family-run fish and chip shop in Guernsey has been purchased by a UK chain for £1 million, marking a significant boost for the local economy. The establishment, operated by a husband and wife team since 2000, has garnered acclaim as the best fish and chip shop on the island, even receiving recognition from the BBC.
The husband and wife, who have successfully led the business for over two decades, have enjoyed a loyal customer base and a stellar reputation within the community. The new acquisition is viewed as a promising development for both the business and the island.
"We have come [to Guernsey] numerous times a year for probably 15 years and we've always wanted a shop over there," said Mr Akathiotis, who is involved with the UK chain.
This strategic move by the chain aims to further enhance its footprint in the region and capitalise on the local market. The acquisition highlights the potential for growth within the island's culinary sector and is expected to stimulate further interest in local businesses, encouraging more visitors to explore what Guernsey has to offer.
