Shepherd Chartered Surveyors has brought to market a long established and profitable fish and chip shop business that operates from newly refurbished premises in Dumfries.
Lochside Fish & Chips occupies a visible trading position within a large catchment area. Fronting onto Lochside Road, immediately adjacent to the A76 and around 250 yards north of the A75, it is also well positioned to secure high levels of passing trade.
Surrounding commercial operators include McDonalds, ALDI, Tesco, Greggs, and Costa. Dumfries town centre lies a mile to the south.
The single-storey property forms part of a purpose-built parade of similar style units and has access to a communal loading/parking area at the rear.
The accommodation extends to a large sales area, two prep areas, kitchen, office, stores, and staff welfare. There is also a large private patio that is well suited for use as an outdoor seating area.
Refurbishment works were completed in April, including a new roof and sales frontage, together with new floor coverings and internal linings. The property has been fully rewired and multiple items of trade equipment have been replaced. The frying range and extraction system have also been fully reconditioned.
Fraser Carson, Associate at Shepherd, said: “The business has traded continuously for nearly 60 years, and the current owner is reluctantly seeking a sale due to an unforeseen change in personal circumstance.
“Income is generated from a loyal local customer base along with trade gathered from the high volume of passing traffic.
“The business presents a genuine opportunity to build upon a steadfast turnover through a return to full trading hours, diversification of the menu and introduction of a home delivery service.
“All trade equipment is owned outright and is to be included as part of the proposed sale.”
