BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
 
The Osprey Takeaway is a prominent, well established and very profitable Fish and Chip Shop in the busy Aberdeen district of Dyce. Opened in 1984 and in the same ownership for 23 years the proprietor now wishes to retire and pass on a very successful hot food takeaway to a new owner.

The business is well known in the surrounding area and enjoys high levels of repeat local trade from Dyce and other localities. There is unrestricted parking directly outside the premises and the adjacent Dyce train station and Spiders Web public house brings in regular passing trade from commuters and off-shore workers who use the station to access Aberdeen Airport and Heliport. The business also benefits from the large number of workers based in the surrounding business district.

The shop is currently only open 6 days a week. Extending the opening hours into Sundays presents an excellent opportunity to increase turnover.

The business has very spacious 112 square metre (1200 sq ft) premises which are capable of housing an additional catering business. A new owner could use the excellent kitchen facilities for a sandwich delivery business, outside catering or other uses.

The business has full Class 3 Hot Food consent and the sale price includes all fixtures and fittings.
