Established Highland food retailer and frozen foods specialist – trading since the early 1990s
Grant’s Fine Foods is a long-established business based in Dornoch, founded in the early 1990s and best known for its frozen van sales operation serving the wider North and West Highlands. Covering Sutherland, Caithness, Ross-shire and Skye, this mobile frozen food service has been the backbone of the business since its inception and continues to provide a reliable and profitable route to market.
The retail shop element was added in the 2000s, providing a complementary outlet for customers closer to Dornoch and enhancing the overall brand presence. The premises are located within the local business park – outside the town centre but with the significant benefit of easy, convenient parking for customers.
The combination of a strong, established van sales network and a well-presented retail outlet makes this a highly versatile and resilient business with scope for continued success.
Grant’s Fine Foods trades from premises within Dornoch Business Park, located on the edge of the town. While not a town-centre site, the location offers excellent access and plentiful customer parking – a notable advantage in Dornoch, where parking can be limited.
Dornoch is one of the Highlands’ most desirable towns, attracting visitors year-round thanks to its historic charm, beaches and championship golf course. The business park location allows efficient logistics for the van operation while remaining accessible to local customers.
