Description
Rare opportunity to acquire a long established coffee shop with a great reputation built up by the current owner, in the busy town centre of Stirling.
LocationStirling is a city in the heart of Scotland, 26 miles northeast of Glasgow and 37 miles northwest of Edinburgh. Located on the river Forth, it has been known as 'the gateway to the Highlands'. With the famous Stirling Castle dominating the skyline, the city benefits from continued tourism throughout the year due to its historical significance and landmarks such as the near-by Wallace Monument.
With a population of c.94,000 and a large student population due to the nearby Stirling University, the business is excellently located on a main thoroughfare leading towards the city centre, and within distance to Stirling railway station.
Darnley Coffee House is situated on Bow Street, just down the hill from Stirling Castle, making it a good pit stop for home baking, soup and speciality coffees during a walk around the Old Town.
The property is split in to three areas for customers to dwell. With its 6th Century vaulted cellar ceilings, traditional stone walls that add so much character, makes this area a light and comfortable space seating 30 customers.
A commercial kitchen is located to the rear with external storage off the kitchen for food and beverage supplies.
Ladies and gents toilets are also located to the rear.
All fixtures and fittings will be included in the sale. Any personal belongings owned by the current owners will be removed before the sale.
The OpportunityDarnley Coffee House will appeal to a number of buyers due to its size and location within a busy tourist hotspot. The coffee shop can be easily managed with only a small number of staff, this lends itself to existing multiple operators but will also appeal to an owner operator looking to take more of a hands on approach, with the opportunity to add to the current success.
