THE BUSINESS/OPPORTUNITY

Finsbay was established by our clients approximately 7 years ago and in this time the business built up an excellent reputation as well as a loyal and regular clientele. The business traded as an all-day bar & restaurant offering a great selection of brunch, lunch and dinner options as well as an extensive drinks menu ranging from coffees to cocktails.

The business has won a number of awards over the years including East Dunbartonshire’s Best Business and Best Hospitality Business, and Best New Bar in the Scottish Bar & Restaurant Awards.

The premises are set up to deal with high volumes of customers and we have been advised that average turnover was between £15,000 and £25,000 gross per week depending on the time of year, and barrelage was approximately 600 barrels per annum.

Due to a change in our client’s personal circumstances the business has been closed since the middle of January however are literally in walk in condition, so a new owner could reopen the business immediately, or alternatively the premises would easily lend themselves to a new concept or cuisine style should a new owner wish.

The subjects benefit from a prominent corner trading position on Main Street within the desirable and affluent suburb of Milngavie in East Dunbartonshire, which lies approximately 6 miles north of Glasgow city centre.

Main Street is a pedestrianised retail thoroughfare within the town’s main retail precinct and also benefits from surrounding offices, banks, cafes, bars and restaurants ensuring high levels of footfall throughout the day and evening.
Surrounding retail operators include M&S, Boots, Holland & Barrett, Greggs and Costa, and licensed operators include Fullbacks, Charlie’s Loft and the Talbot Arms.

Milngavie is a thriving town and plays host to a number of festivals, shows and street parties throughout the year which all benefit the local businesses. Milngavie also benefits from high levels of tourists and daytrippers, and is the starting point for the West Highland Way, a long-distance footpath which runs northwards for 96 miles to Fort William and attracts high levels of walkers. Other nearby amenities and attractions include Mugdock Country Park, Auchenhowie Sports Hub, Lennox Park as well as a number of golf clubs.
