Jackson Butchers occupies a prominent trading location at the southern end of George Street, the main commercial trading thoroughfare in the popular Argyll town of Oban on Scotland’s west coast. George Street overlooks the promenade and harbour and offers a wide range of retail and hospitality businesses both for locals and visitors.
Commonly known as the Gateway to the Isles, Oban itself is a hugely popular tourist destination, predominantly during the summer season when the town can play host to up to 25,000 people but also during the remainder of the year for visitors who use it as a base for touring the surrounding area and as a starting point for the majority of the crossings to the Hebridean Islands from its ferry terminal.
Scotland’s largest city Glasgow can be reached within a two hour 15-minute drive through the beautiful Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park with Scotland’s capital, Edinburgh approximately 3 hours away. Day trips are possible from both these popular tourist destinations to Oban and the beautiful surrounding areas.
The town also has its own railway station, situated close to the ferry terminal.
Jackson Butchers has been a fixture in Oban since 1932 over which time the business has and continues to have an outstanding reputation both with locals and those from further afield. Specialising in the finest Scottish lamb, beef, pork and poultry sourced from the best Scottish farms along with in-house products such as sausages, haggis and black pudding. As well as a hugely loyal local following, the business also generates turnover with the many visitors coming to the area.
The business is ideally suited to someone with butchery experience or an investor who could employ staff to run on their behalf with the benefit of a freehold property in one of Scotland’s most scenic and popular towns.
A guide price of £240,000 is sought for the heritable interest in the property and all fixtures & fittings pertaining thereto.
