Ideally situated to exploit all the increased volume of patronage likely to be generated on completion of a substantial new nearby residential development, the subject premises occupy a prominent and highly visible trading position among other independent operators on a popular parade situated on the densely populated mixed residential and commercial outskirts 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 in eastern Scotland.

My Own Business are delighted to present this outstanding opportunity to acquire a commercial proposition of real quality and uncommon 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 daily shopping essentials including an excellent choice of market-leading general and frozen convenience grocery items, fresh bought-in bakery and dairy products, general household goods and toiletries, all displayed to its best advantage in a bright, welcoming and secure customer service area.

“Paterson’s General Merchants” also stocks a range of over-the-counter news, confectionery and tobacco lines, greetings cards, “pocket money toys”, fancy goods and associated sundries and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with ample scope for continued growth, not least with regard to still further expansion of the products and services currently offered, to perhaps include alcohol off sales, Lottery sales and electronic utility payments etc., 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 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 two experienced and motivated shop staff, and we would strongly recommend the earliest possible viewing to avoid disappointment.

Fitted to acceptable trade standards throughout, though in need of a degree of cosmetic decorative attention and upgrading, a fact which is reflected in the very competitive sale price, these substantial leasehold terraced parade premises provide highly functional internal business accommodation to the GROUND FLOOR, which briefly comprises an inviting and part-glazed, double-fronted public entrance directly off Strathmartine Road into the main, bright, welcoming and deceptively spacious, open-plan retail sales and customer service area 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 separate refrigerated and frozen display cabinets, ample periodical and greetings cards racking and a prominent and fully fitted point-of-sale counter with confectionery and sundry displays, tobacco gantry and electronic till point.

The premises also incorporate a substantial and fully-racked general dry goods store to the rear, with further ancillary accommodation consisting of a small shop kitchen area, together with descending staircase access down to a large, full-height cellar area suitable for storage purposes.

The premises also enjoy the added security benefits of CCTV monitoring and a full internal and external alarm system.

Externally:

To the exterior the premises are well signed and afford ample and inviting display window space onto a high footfall suburban parade, with extensive 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
