A popular commuter town, Busby has its own Railway Station and regular bus services providing easy access to Glasgow City Centre, as well as being in easy reach of the M77 and M8 motorway networks.

The subjects are positioned within a busy commercial area and surrounding occupiers include a pharmacy, hair & beauty salons, convenience store, newsagent, as well as the Cartvale Bar and the Busby Hotel, ensuring the surrounding area is busy both day and evening.

The subjects form part of a retail parade and comprise part ground floor of this traditional, 3-storey, sandstone property, all under a pitched tiled roof.

DESCRIPTION

The subjects are accessed directly from Main Street via a door positioned to the right-hand side of the display frontage with prominent canopy and signage above.

Internally, the premises have been well designed and fitted to maximise the use of space.  There is an L-shaped counter servery that runs down the left-hand side incorporating a serve over display chill counter which displays a selection of sandwich fillings, cakes and soft drinks etc.  To the rear of the counter there is a range of catering equipment including griddle/hot plate, deep fat fryer, oven & double hob, panini grill, soup kettle, microwave, hot water dispenser, as well fridges and freezer.  The subjects benefit from an extraction canopy with charcoal flue.

A small back shop area provides a double sink and hand basin as well as a staff toilet.

THE BUSINESS

Our client has owned and operate the Village Bakers for approximately 34 years, and the business is therefore well established within Busby and is something of a local institution.  Our client runs the business with one other part time member of staff.

The business enjoys a loyal and regular clientele derived from locals and regulars, as well as benefiting from passing traffic and tradespeople etc.  The business also benefits from Williamwood Secondary School, as well as Riverside Music College.

The business sells a good selection of hot and cold filled rolls including breakfast rolls, burgers etc as well as pies and chips, cakes and baking, and a range of hot & cold drinks.

The business has been placed on the market due to retirement and it is felt that the sale represents a great opportunity for a new owner operator to take on this long established and well performing business which still offers further growth potential.
