Location/Description


The subjects are situated on the Northmost side of High Station Road, in close proximity to its junctions with Gartcows Road and Griffiths Street.

Located on the Southern periphery of Falkirk town centre, Falkirk High train station is approximately a five minute walk from the shop.  In addition, High Station Road forms part of a busy road route into the town from the South.  As such, the shop is ideally located to benefit from a high level of passing trade.

Falkirk itself is conveniently located just off the main M9 Edinburgh to Stirling motorway, both from junction 5 travelling Westward and junction 6 travelling Eastward.

The subjects comprise retail premises which our client fully refurbished/refitted in 2007, and upon gaining Class 3 consent, opened for trade in December 2007.  The refurbishment programme included re-wiring, new plumbing installation and disabled toilet provision.

Internally, the subjects comprise a café area to the front, which can accommodate circa 12 covers, with kitchen/preparation area to the rear.  Completing the accommodation is a disabled toilet.

The kitchen/preparation area is spacious and is fitted and equipped to a top quality standard with stainless steel catering equipment. 

To the rear of the subjects is an enclosed yard area with bin storage and a parking area which is shared with the occupiers of the adjacent properties.

The Business

Our client commenced trading in December 2007 and is reluctantly selling due to health issues.

Operating as a café/takeaway, our client offers an appetising selection of snacks and meals.  Hot filled rolls are popular particularly in the mornings along with cooked breakfasts.  Burgers, baked potatoes, chips and a choice of sandwiches, rolls, baguettes, toasties and paninis are available.

The daily specials board offers home made soup and two or three hot dishes such as stovies, curry and macaroni.

The pricing policy is the same for sit in and take away and the majority of income is generated from takeaways.  Orders are placed for collection although no outside catering is undertaken.

The business is operated by our client with assistance during the busy times (11 am – 2 pm) from a part time member of staff.

Through choice, opening hours are currently 9 am – 3 pm, Monday – Friday although demand is known to exist for extended opening hours, particularly in the morning for workmen/commuters.

Financial documentation will be provided to interested parties after viewing and confirmation of interest.  Weekly income is currently in the region of £800 - £1,000.


Lease Terms

Our client may also consider leasing the premises on the basis of a new full repairing and insuring lease, the terms of which are open to negotiation.  In this regard a premium of £20,000 is sought for the business with a proposed annual rental of £6,000 per annum.

As would be expected under the terms of a traditional lease, the incoming tenant will be required to demonstrate their ability to fulfil their obligations under the lease, in particular financial obligations, and references will be requested at an early stage, without exception.
