The subject premises occupy an outstanding and highly visible trading position among numerous other complementary independent operators in a densely populated mixed residential and commercial area situated with excellent access to major bus, rail, road and motorway links in the vibrant riverside city of Glasgow.

We are delighted to present this fantastic opportunity to acquire a thriving commercial proposition of uncommon quality and real further potential, which we are confident you will agree represents genuine value.

This very well established and highly regarded discerning shopper’s “Aladdin’s Cave” currently primarily conducts a popular sales operation of a stunning and eclectic range of high quality, pre-owned antiques and collectables.

The store’s products include original and limited addition artworks and prints, clocks, watches, home furnishings, lighting, objets d’art, mirrors and crockery, all displayed to its very best advantage in a charming, welcoming and deceptively spacious showroom area.

“The Real Deal (Glasgow) Ltd” also stocks an excellent choice of general curios and bric-a-brac and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with ample scope for continued growth, not least with regard to the possible introduction of Sunday trading in order to fully exploit year-round local retail demand.

The business would also benefit greatly by adopting a far more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing products, particularly with reference to the possible introduction of online advertising and sales, in order to improve upon the already high levels of turnover it has achieved since being established in its present form in 2011 by the current proprietor, and we would strongly recommend the earliest possible viewing to avoid disappointment.

These well fitted and maintained leasehold character parade premises provide excellent and highly functional internal business accommodation, which briefly comprises an inviting and part-glazed, single-fronted public entrance directly of Argyle Street into the main, bright, welcoming and deceptively spacious retail sales and customer service showroom area with high ceiling, diffused fluorescent lighting and durable industrial non-slip flooring throughout for easy cleaning.

The main public area affords extensive display space for a stunning and eclectic range of premium quality antiques, collectables and general bric-a-brac and includes a small service counter area with full complement of payment facilities.

Further ancillary internal business accommodation consists of a good-sized general storeroom, together with all the usual washroom/WC facilities.

The premises also enjoy the benefit of electric heating, in addition to the added security benefit of a full alarm system.
