Our client has owned and operated this Baguette Express in Hawick for 20 years and there has been a sandwich shop trading from this location for 30 years.
The business is not tied to the Baguette Express franchise and trades as an independent sandwich shop offering a wide and varied menu in addition to the sandwiches and wraps where all fillings are made in-house. Baked potatoes, salads, breakfasts, pastas and soups are also available along with a selection of homemade sweet treats. There is also a wide range of crisps and soft drinks as well as hot beverages available.
This is a highly popular takeaway with a strong, loyal customer base, with many customers returning more than once a day whilst also benefitting from high footfall from nearby Hawick High School and visitors to the public park close by.
Hawick has a busy calendar of festivals and annual events which also provide increased trade to the business. The current owner also does outside catering with bespoke menus to suit.
Parking is available in surrounding areas including a large free car park just a short stroll from the business across the bridge.
