Newburgh is a traditional royal burgh, known for its rich history of fishing and industrial linen and fabric production. Presently, Newburgh is known for its quarry operations.
Sitting on the Firth of Tay, the village is surrounded by four main council areas– Perth and Kinross, Dundee, Fife and Angus.
Newburgh has a population of over 2,171 people and sits in the Kingdom of Fife which has a population of circa 371,000 people.
We are advised that all fixtures and fittings are included in the sale subject to an inventory,
The OpportunityThe business was originally bought 1976 and originally consisted of a traditional petrol forecourt, workshop garage and class 3 cafe. In late 2024, the workshop side of the business was closed, and this has allowed the owner to concentrate on the fuel element along with the café offering. This is reflective in the increase in net profit in 2025. New pumps have been installed along with a new roof on the workshop building. The unit sits at the corner of Abbey Road and Cupar Road and is very prominent from all directions.
The size of the plot could allow additional development opportunities such as larger forecourt shop offering, new layout of pumps, electric charging etc (STPP). Please note that planning has been granted for the redevelopment of the now redundant workshop unit to incorporate a larger forecourt shop and café extension.
The forecourt business benefits from a five-year Jet supply agreement which commenced on 01/10/2023.
Day to day operations on site are carried out by a team of full and part time staff. A full staff list can be made available to interested parties. TUPE regulations will apply to all members of staff.
