THE BUSINESS

Our clients established Mr MacGregor’s in August 2020 after undertaking an extensive refurbishment of the property, to create the stunning premises that exist today.

The business has only recently ceased trading however had built up an excellent reputation for its food and service and benefitted from a loyal and regular clientele with lots of locals from Netherlee and the surrounding suburbs including Muirend, Giffnock and Clarkston, as well as benefitting from the nearby businesses and amenities including Netherlee primary school, and good levels of passing trade.

The business catered for a good mix of clientele whether it was just for coffee and cake after school drop off, a business lunch or a full evening meal, and was also popular for functions and private dining. The business offered a number of menus including breakfast & brunch, a la carte, 2 or 3 course market menu, Sunday Roast and childrens, as well as offering an extensive wine and cocktail menu, and a Gin Emporium menu.

It is felt the sale represents a tremendous opportunity for a new owner-operator to take on these stunning premises at a fraction of the fit out cost, in an enviable trading position, and the premises lend themselves to a range of café, bistro, restaurant and bar concepts, including continuing with Mr MacGregor’s which has strong historic levels of turnover and profits.
