    Location

    The subjects are prominently located at 94 Main Street, West Calder, within the heart of this established West Lothian town. Main Street forms the principal commercial thoroughfare through West Calder and accommodates a mix of local retailers, food operators, service businesses and community facilities, serving both the immediate town population and the wider surrounding residential catchment.

    West Calder benefits from good connectivity within West Lothian, lying within convenient reach of Livingston and the wider central belt road network, with West Calder railway station providing regular rail connections on the Edinburgh to Glasgow route. The premises occupy a highly visible trading position on Main Street, close to complementary town centre occupiers and within an area that benefits from passing trade, local residents, workers, commuters and evening takeaway custom. The location is considered well suited to a long-established hot food takeaway business with collection, counter and delivery trade.
    Description

    We are instructed to market the leasehold interest of a long-established, fully equipped and highly regarded hot food takeaway business trading as a fish and chip shop with an extensive complementary offering including pizzas, kebabs, ice cream and licensed off-sales. The business has traded successfully for over 30 years and represents an exceptional opportunity for an experienced operator or ambitious purchaser seeking a substantial, turnkey trading concern in a strong Edinburgh location.

    The business benefits from a proven trading history, a broad customer base and multiple income streams, with sales generated through counter trade, collection orders and established delivery platforms including Just Eat, Scoffable and Mealzo. The business is fully fitted and operational, with a comprehensive inventory of catering equipment, refrigeration, preparation areas and back-of-house facilities, allowing an incoming purchaser to continue trading immediately subject to the usual legal and licensing requirements.

    The business is presented as a rare chance to acquire a substantial leasehold food operation with significant goodwill, strong local recognition and a high turnover which can be demonstrated to serious, qualified buyers following appropriate enquiries. The premises are equipped to support high-volume fish and chip production alongside pizza, kebab, chilled display, frozen storage, ice cream and licensed retail sales.

    This is a genuine walk-in opportunity, with the benefit of extensive fixtures, fittings and trade equipment included in the sale, subject to contract and inventory confirmation.
