Bruce and Co. are pleased to announce the sale of Gina’s, a well-established and profitable fish and chip shop, located in the seaside town of Ayr, Ayrshire.
The business had been under the care of Mr and Mrs Mchattie for three years, and during this time, has traded successfully whilst forming an excellent base of loyal clientele. Trade had been generated from repeat custom from the local community, as well as from passing trade due to the business being situated on one of the main roads within the town. Trading successfully, the business was only brought to the market due to the owner’s wish to retire.
Gina’s occupies a single storey unit of a purpose built row of shops, and benefits from a large display window at the front of the building. The property itself is superbly presented and came fully fitted with all necessary equipment required to operate a business of this nature – including a 3 pan fryer, a well maintained preparation area, and a storage area. Gina’s therefore provided new owners with an opportunity to purchase a business in walk-in condition, and allowed new owners to start trading immediately. Although Gina’s benefitted from a high turnover, there is room for the new owner to increase this by, for example, extending opening hours at lunch times and introducing a delivery service.
Once on the market, the business was bought by Mrs Chalal, who is an experienced buyer, and who owns another business in a different sector nearby. The location of Gina’s was a key feature which prompted Mrs Chalal to put an offer in and the leasehold premises was sold for £55,000.
The vendors Mr and Mrs Mchattie were happy with the service from Bruce & Co. stating, “We had no problems through selling our business through Bruce & Co, and would recommend them.”
