Very Popular and Successful Local Cafe with Massive Potential Ref 2026
Central Business Sales is delighted to offer to the market an excellent opportunity to acquire a well-presented and fully equipped café and takeaway business in a busy West Lothian location.
The business currently provides 15 covers for sit-in customers, alongside takeaway and delivery services, and benefits from strong local trade. Situated on a busy main road with a local school nearby, the premises enjoy excellent visibility and regular passing trade.
The café is currently operated during daytime hours, closing at approximately 2pm, offering a significant opportunity for a new owner to increase turnover by introducing evening opening, extending the existing daytime hours or developing the takeaway and delivery side of the business.
The premises are in excellent condition and fully equipped, with Class 3 planning consent/use, making it suitable for a range of food and beverage concepts. There is also the opportunity to secure either a 5-year or 10-year lease, with an attractive rent of just £625 per month and no business rates currently payable, subject to eligibility.
This is an ideal opportunity for an owner-operator looking for an affordable established café with low occupancy costs and considerable scope to increase sales and profitability.
Viewing is strictly by appointment and interested parties will be required to sign a confidentiality agreement prior to receiving the full location and business details.
