The subject premises occupy an outstanding and highly visible trading position among other independent operators in the busy heart of the vibrant satellite town of Bearsden, which lies with excellent access to major road links (A809, A810, A739, A81 and A82 etc.) and approximately 6 miles from Glasgow city centre, in East Dunbartonshire.

My Own Business are delighted to present this outstanding 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 long established store has become an important focal point of the community in the course of many years’ highly successful trading by providing an extremely useful range of traditional Post Office services for local residents including postage, pensions, benefits, car tax, passports, currency exchange and personal banking etc.

The Post Office services naturally generate considerable extra trade for a highly complementary retail operation of wide selection of greetings cards, stationery and daily shopping essentials, together with a range of traditional over-the-counter news, confectionery and tobacco lines, beers wines & spirits and associated sundries, all displayed to its best advantage in a bright spacious and secure customer service area.

“Bearsden Post Office & Convenience Store” also holds valuable, commission-earning National Lottery, electronic Paypoint and MoneyGram international money transfer franchises and operates from premises of a size which 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.

The business would also benefit greatly by operating considerably extended 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 a small team of three experienced and motivated staff who would be an asset to any purchaser, and we would strongly recommend the earliest possible viewing to avoid disappointment.

Fitted to high industry specifications throughout, these substantial and extremely well maintained leasehold character parade premises occupy a prominent corner trading position and provide excellent and highly functional internal business accommodation, which briefly comprises a broad and inviting, single-fronted public entrance with double security doors and glazed internal doorway directly off Roman Road into the main, bright, welcoming and deceptively spacious, open-plan retail sales and customer service area with suspended ceiling, diffused fluorescent lighting and durable industrial non-slip flooring throughout.

The main customer service area houses a full range of high quality, fixed and freestanding, purpose- built display furniture and shelving, in addition to extensive periodical and greetings cards racking, open and glass-fronted dairy and soft drinks display units, a large dedicated stationery department and a prominent and fully fitted general point-of-sale counter with confectionery and sundry displays, tobacco gantry, electronic till point, National Lottery terminal and full complement of electronic Paypoint and MoneyGram international money transfer facilities.

The main public area also features a dedicated Post Office department housing a fully fitted and screened counter with 2 x computerised serving positions, full complement of parcel weighing and credit card payment facilities and a fully computerised rear administration office with a large safe and full complement of telephone lines and industry-specific business management systems.

Further ancillary internal business accommodation consists of a small general dry goods/bottle store, together with all the usual washroom/WC facilities.

The premises also enjoy the benefit of a mains electricity power supply, in addition to the added security benefits of CCTV monitoring and a full Post Office approved alarm system.
