The business occupies a well-known, visible and prominent trading location on Balloch Road in the popular West Dunbartonshire village of Balloch. Balloch sits on the southern shore of Loch Lomond and is known as a gateway to the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park.
The popular walking route of the West Highland Way lies close to the village, passing through the nearby villages of Drymen and Balmaha. The village is a very popular tourist destination with a variety of amenities, historical sites like Balloch Castle, and attractions such as Loch Lomond Shores and the Loch Lomond Sea Life Aquarium.
Balloch undoubtedly benefits from the closeness of Glasgow and the central belt. Ideally positioned just to the north of the Greater Glasgow conurbation, Balloch continues to be a favoured spot of many for a “run in the car” and a day out. The northern suburbs of Glasgow are only 16 miles away from the village, while the city centre is 26 miles to the south.
Loch Lomond Gift House is a well-established and renowned local business which has been trading under our client’s continuous ownership for the last 30 years.
The business has grown, matured and evolved over the same period. Our client is seeking to retire after their long-term tenure and a fantastic opportunity now exists for a motivated buyer to acquire a long-standing business and property amid a fantastic tourist centre and popular location.
In addition, the premises also doubles as the local tourist information for the village and the southern part of Loch Lomond.
New owners will inherit a firmly established business, with obvious areas for potential expansion most notably adding additional lines as well as enhancing the online shop and marketing presence.
