Fully Equipped Smash Burger Takeaway for Sale – Prime Location Near Murrayfield Stadium, Edinburgh

An excellent opportunity to acquire a fully equipped burger takeaway in a high-demand location, just a 7-minute walk from Murrayfield Stadium. While the business is currently closed, it previously operated successfully on Just Eat, Deliveroo, Mealzo, and Uber Eats, receiving outstanding customer reviews and benefiting from a strong local and event-driven customer base. With the right ownership and effort, this business has significant potential for a highly profitable relaunch.

The premises include a well-equipped commercial kitchen, featuring a twin chip fryer, a grill, 3 fridge freezers, tabletop fridge, a full freezer, a mini fridge, and a display freezer for holding stock. Additional equipment includes 1 blender, a dishwasher, a microwave and all necessary utensils, ensuring a seamless workflow for a new owner. To enhance the customer experience, the space is also equipped with a 55-inch TV and two 32-inch TVs, creating a welcoming and professional environment. The property also benefits from a full extraction system, ensuring compliance with ventilation and safety standards.

This business holds a Class 3 hot food license, allowing the preparation and sale of hot food, making it a rare and valuable opportunity in the area. Additionally, it qualifies for 100% Small Business Rates Relief, significantly reducing overhead costs for the new owner. The lease has 3 years and 7 months remaining, with a break clause in October 2026, providing flexibility for the buyer.

The location is a key advantage, with high foot traffic and a strong customer base. The area is surrounded by flats, local businesses, and schools, offering a steady stream of potential customers throughout the day. A Tesco is nearby, adding to local footfall, while a pub down the road and an Airbnb next door further contribute to demand for takeaway food, particularly from visitors and event-goers. 

There is huge potential for growth, particularly for someone with online marketing and social media experience. While the business performed well on food delivery platforms, it lacked a strong social media presence, leaving untapped potential for brand awareness and customer engagement. A new owner could leverage digital marketing strategies to expand the customer base and drive sales.

The business also offers exciting expansion opportunities. Introducing a lunch menu would attract customers from the surrounding businesses, schools, and residential areas, increasing revenue during the daytime. Additionally, adding chicken shawarma to the menu could introduce a new and highly profitable income stream, as there is strong demand for it in the area, with a nearby competitor consistently busy.

For those looking to create their own brand in the fast food Smash Burger scene, this is an excellent opportunity to start fresh with an already equipped setup. With the right vision and marketing strategy, a new owner could establish a strong, recognizable brand and dominate the local market. To help ensure a smooth transition, training can be provided to the new owner, covering day-to-day operations, food preparation, and delivery platform management. This is a great opportunity for both experienced food business operators and those looking to enter the industry with guidance.

The sale includes all equipment, fixtures, and the existing business setup, making this a fantastic investment in a thriving area.
