Shepherd brings to market long-established fish and chip shop in Dumfries for sale

Shepherd Chartered Surveyors has brought to market a long-established, fully-fitted, and profitable fish and chip shop business in Dumfries for sale.

Lochside Café occupies a visible trading position within a large catchment area. Situated on the northern side of Lochside Road, immediately adjacent to the A76 and around 250 yards north of the A75, it is also well positioned to secure high levels of passing trade.

Surrounding commercial operators include McDonalds, ALDI, Tesco, Greggs, and Costa. Dumfries town centre lies a mile to the south.

The single-storey hot food takeaway unit with modern roadside sales frontage forms part of a purpose-built parade of similar style units and has access to communal loading/parking.

The accommodation extends to a large sales area, two prep areas, kitchen, office, stores, and toilet. There is also a large private patio that is well suited for use as an outdoor seating area.

Fraser Carson, associate at Shepherd, said: “Lochside Café has traded continuously for nearly 60 years. The current owner acquired the business in 2015 and is reluctantly seeking a sale due to an unforeseen change in personal circumstance.

“Income is generated from a loyal local customer base along with trade gathered from the high volume of passing traffic.

“The business presents a genuine opportunity to build upon a steadfast turnover through a return to full trading hours, further diversification of the menu and introduction of a home delivery service.

“All trade equipment is owned outright and is to be included as part of the proposed sale.”

Offers around £550,000 are invited. Interested parties should contact the sole selling agent on 01387 264333.
