Baguette Express occupies a prominent position on Sandbed, a parade of commercial businesses forming part of the main A7 routing at a roundabout to the western end of Hawick’s High Street. Highly visible to passing trade, the shop occupies the ground floor of a 4-storey terraced property with independently owned residential accommodation above.
Hawick is the largest town in the Scottish Borders with a population of around 11,000. It is surrounded by other towns such as Selkirk, Jedburgh, Galashiels, Melrose and Kelso. Scotland’s capital city Edinburgh is easily reachable via the A7 or A68 within an approximate 80-minute drive.
Our client has owned and operated this Baguette Express in Hawick for 20 years and there has been a sandwich shop trading from this location for 30 years.
The business is not tied to the Baguette Express franchise and trades as an independent sandwich shop offering a wide and varied menu in addition to the sandwiches and wraps where all fillings are made in-house. Baked potatoes, salads, breakfasts, pastas and soups are also available along with a selection of homemade sweet treats. There is also a wide range of crisps and soft drinks as well as hot beverages available.
This is a highly popular takeaway with a strong, loyal customer base, with many customers returning more than once a day whilst also benefitting from high footfall from nearby Hawick High School and visitors to the public park close by.
Hawick has a busy calendar of festivals and annual events which also provide increased trade to the business. The current owner also does outside catering with bespoke menus to suit.
Parking is available in surrounding areas including a large free car park just a short stroll from the business across the bridge.
