The subject premises occupy an outstanding and highly visible trading position among other independent operators in the busy heart of the vibrant and historic waterside city of Dundee, which lies with excellent access to major road links (A90, A92 and A923 etc.) on the Firth of Tay estuary in eastern Scotland.

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

This long established community store currently primarily conducts an extremely useful and popular retail operation of a wide selection of market-leading daily shopping essentials, and is a valued member of the nationwide “CostCutter” buying group.

The store’s products include an excellent choice of general and frozen convenience grocery items, fresh bought-in bakery and dairy products, general household goods, toiletries, over-the-counter news, confectionery and tobacco lines, snack foods, drinks and associated sundries, all displayed to its best advantage in a bright, welcoming and deceptively spacious, mini-supermarket-style customer service area.

“CostCutter” also holds valuable, commission-earning National Lottery, electronic Paypoint, UPS parcel collection and mobile phone top-up franchises and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with ample scope for continued growth, not least with regard to still further expansion of the retail products currently offered and to the possible introduction of local delivery services, particularly for elderly customers in outlying areas.

The business would also benefit greatly by operating considerably extended morning and evening retail hours in order to improve upon the already high levels of turnover it is achieving in the hands of the current proprietor, with the aid of an experienced and motivated team of three shop staff, and we would strongly recommend the earliest possible viewing to avoid disappointment.

These well fitted 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 off Nethergate, into the main, bright, welcoming and deceptively spacious retail sales and customer service area, set out in mini-supermarket style with diffused fluorescent lighting and industrial non-slip flooring throughout for easy cleaning.

The main customer service area houses a full range of well maintained, fixed and freestanding, purpose-built display furniture and shelving, in addition to various refrigerated and frozen display cabinets, ample periodical racking and a prominent and fully fitted point-of-sale counter with large, multi-deck “pick ‘n’ mix” loose sweet display section, sundry displays, tobacco gantry, electronic till point and weighing facilities, National Lottery terminal and full complement of electronic PayPoint, UPS parcel collection and mobile phone top-up facilities.

The premises also incorporate all the usual washroom/WC facilities, with further ancillary accommodation consisting of stepped split-level access up to an additional spacious area with feature solid timber parquet flooring throughout, which we understand is currently employed for general storage purposes but would afford excellent potential for business expansion purposes.

The property also enjoys the benefit of a mains electricity power supply, in addition to the added security benefit of a full alarm system.

Externally:

To the exterior the premises are well signed and afford ample and inviting display window space onto a high footfall city centre commercial thoroughfare, with “Pay & Display” customer parking available locally.

The business is well fitted throughout and a valuable inventory of equipment is to be included in the sale price.
