The subject property occupies an outstanding and highly visible corner trading position with little in the way of direct local competition on a high footfall commercial thoroughfare situated in the charming and historic town of Alva, which lies on the busy main A91 to the nearby centres of Tillicoultry and Stirling in a delightful rural area close to the Ochil Hills in the Central Lowlands of Scotland.

We are delighted to present this marvellous opportunity to acquire the valuable freehold rights to a thriving commercial proposition of real quality and uncommon further potential, which we are confident you will agree represents exceptional value.

This long established and highly regarded community store currently primarily conducts a popular sales operation of a wide selection of premium quality, locally sourced and sustainable fresh and frozen wet fish, together with an excellent choice of associated shellfish and sea foods, all prepared and displayed daily in its well fitted and food hygiene highly rated in-store facilities.

“Alva Fishmonger” also stocks a highly complementary range of fresh local dairy products and greengrocery produce and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with ample scope for continued growth, not least with regard to possible expansion into the provision of local home delivery and wholesale trade supply services, and to operating considerably extended hours in order to fully exploit year-round local and passing trade 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 ordering, in order to improve upon the already high levels of turnover it has achieved in the course of almost fifteen successful years’ trading in the hands of the current proprietor, with the aid of just one experienced and motivated full-time assistant who would be an asset to any purchaser, and we would strongly recommend the earliest possible viewing to avoid disappointment.

These well fitted and maintained freehold corner parade premises provide excellent and highly functional internal business accommodation, which briefly comprises an inviting, recessed and single-fronted public entrance directly off Stirling Street into the main, bright and welcoming retail sales and customer service area with diffused fluorescent strip lighting, part-tiled walls and tiled flooring throughout for easy cleaning.

The main public area also features a prominent and fully fitted food serve-over counter with a large, glass-fronted and refrigerated, delicatessen-style food display and serve over section for an excellent choice of fresh wet fish and associated shellfish, separate frozen display facilities, electronic till point, electronic weighing facilities and small, fully equipped open fish cutting and preparation area.

The main public area, in turn, affords easy access through to a fully fitted and equipped rear preparation/washing-up kitchen area housing ample work surfaces, fitted sink units and a further range of well maintained, industry standard equipment, all of which we understand is to be included in the sale price and further details of which will be made available upon request to any genuine interested parties.

Further ancillary internal business accommodation consists of all the usual washroom/WC facilities.

The property also enjoys the benefit of mains gas, electricity and water supplies, in addition to the added security benefits of steel roller shutters to the main entrance and window and a full alarm system.

Occupying an outstanding corner trading position with little in the way of direct local competition on a high footfall town centre commercial thoroughfare, to the exterior the premises are well signed and presented and afford ample and inviting display window space onto a small pavement trading area employed for the display of fresh greengrocery produce, with unrestricted customer parking available locally.

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