Business Details
Former Heron Foods Store Two storey shop layout
A substantial freehold retail unit in the heart of Middlesbrough's principal shopping district, formerly trading as Heron Foods and now offered for sale at £350,000. With 4,300 sq ft across two floors, a proven retail location, and no ongoing landlord dependency, this represents a compelling acquisition for owner-occupiers, retail operators, and investors alike.
The Property
The ground floor offers approximately 2,300 sq ft of open retail trading space, supported by a dedicated store room, office, and rear access. An internal lift serves both floors — a practical asset for stock movement. The first floor provides a further 2,100 sq ft of ancillary space, including a large store area, staff WC, and two additional store rooms, giving serious capacity for back-of-house operations.
Location
The property sits at the centre of Middlesbrough's retail core, surrounded by national multiples and independent traders. The nearby Dundas Indoor Market generates consistent footfall throughout the week, and strong transport links serve the wider Teesside catchment.
The Opportunity
The unit holds Class E use (formerly A1 retail), making it suitable for grocery, convenience, food-to-go, general merchandise, or a range of other retail and service formats — with no change of use application required. Its history as a Heron Foods retail unit provides meaningful evidence of trading viability for operators in that sector.
