The attractive town of Auchterarder is situated just off the A9 motorway between Perth (13 miles to the north east) and Stirling (21 miles to the south west) in central Scotland. Glasgow, Edinburgh and Dundee can all also be reached within a 1 hour drive. Auchterarder is regarded as an affluent town with a thriving High Street which offers a mix of coffee shops, restaurants as well as independently owned retail outlets.

Auchterarder is often seen as a popular commuter town offering excellent road and rail links to the central belt of Scotland and beyond. The town also benefits from its connection with nearby Gleneagles Hotel, Resort & Golf Courses as well as the extensive chalet parks and timeshares at Glenmor and Duchally House Hotel.

There are substantial new residential developments ongoing on the outskirts of the town and surrounding areas.

There has been a fish and chip shop operating here under the same family ownership since 1937 with the current incumbents having been in control for the last 7 of those years. They have placed the business on the market to allow for retirement.

Despite only trading 5 nights a week for a total of 20 hours in total, the business still boasts a healthy turnover and an excellent net profit. The current owners also choose not to offer a delivery service which would be an excellent additional service to offer along with the undoubted opportunity to extend the opening hours in the evening and to take advantage of strong footfall over lunchtime.

The property also has the benefit of the 2 bedroom owners accommodation which would suit a hands-on operator or would be suitable for letting out which is the case at the moment.
