A well known chip shop has been put up for sale after more than 35 years in the same family.

Tribells has been selling fish and chips in Llandudno for 80 years and was bought by the Sinacola family nearly four decades ago.

Now owner Paul Sinacola - whose father Frank bought the site - has placed the restaurant and takeaway on the market for £1.29m.

He said: “I have worked here for 35 years now, ever since I was a teenager and it is time to retire from the chip shop business and do something different.

“It continues to be very successful and I expect there to be interest.

“All my life has been spent in chip shops so I will really miss it when it is sold but it’s time for a new start.

“Until that happens though it is business as usual here and we don’t know how long this will take.”

The restaurant is based in a prominent site on Lloyd Street in the heart of Llandudno.

The sale includes the remainder of the building and the site next door.

Estate agent Kings Commercial say these could be converted into several high quality apartments.

A spokesman added: “Having successfully operated in the town for over 80 years and under current ownership for the last 40 years, this business has become very highly renowned and earned itself an excellent reputation for offering the highest quality fresh produce at competitive prices along with a warm local smile.

“The business therefore enjoys an extensive and loyal customer base attracting repeat trade from the immediate vicinity as well as neighbouring villages and towns.”
