The Orchard is a well-established, award winning, family run greengrocers/delicatessen. Located in a prominent position on Biggar High Street the grocers were established approx. 30 years ago and has been firmly established as the ‘go to’ for residents looking for an alternative to supermarket shopping. Evolving over the years The Orchard has become more of a delicatessen, offering a selection of fine foods supplied by local independent producer’s including meats, cheese, bakery products, homemade condiments, oils, oat cakes, fresh seafood, fruit and vegetables and every other kind of product you would imagine a modern delicatessen would offer.
The recently installed, ‘refill station’ has been a massive hit with customers and provides an additional income revenue but also confirms The Orchards commitment to offer alternatives and doing their bit for the environment. The home delivery and pre order service are popular for older members of the community and busy professionals. Also offering hampers, cheese boards and different types of gifts through the year.
Overall, The Orchard is a highly regarded, modern and profitable business located in a prominent position within the town’s high street, benefiting from high footfall. In an ever-changing market the business has plenty of room for growth.
