Lennon Butchers, Shettleston

Freehold Commercial Property & Established Butchers Business

A rare opportunity to acquire Lennon Butchers, a long-established family-run butchers business trading continuously from 1013 Shettleston Road, Glasgow, since April 2000.

The business is now offered for sale due to retirement, together with the freehold commercial property from which it operates.

The sale provides an incoming purchaser with an established trading business, goodwill, customer base, trading name, experienced workforce, specialist equipment and freehold premises.

This is much more than the purchase of a shop - it is the opportunity to take over a Glasgow business with a story, a reputation and a customer base that has been built over more than 26 years.

Since opening in April 2000, Lennon Butchers has become a familiar name on Shettleston Road and a firm local favourite, with generations of customers coming through the doors for quality produce and friendly service.

For someone already working in the butchery or food industry, the opportunity is particularly interesting. The business provides an established trading base, an experienced team, fully fitted premises and a comprehensive range of specialist equipment, allowing an operator to step straight into an existing operation rather than starting from scratch.

It could also suit an existing butcher or food business looking to expand, providing an opportunity to add an established Glasgow location and customer base to an existing operation.

For a newcomer to the industry, the business offers something that is difficult to recreate - a recognised local name, established goodwill, an operational premises, specialist equipment and an existing workforce already familiar with the business.

The freehold property adds another important element to the opportunity. Rather than simply taking on a lease, the purchaser will acquire ownership of the premises from which the business operates, providing long-term control of an established trading location.

The business is being offered for sale due to retirement, making this a genuine opportunity for a new owner to take the reins and put their own stamp on a well-established Glasgow business.

There is also scope to look at expansion and development, whether that means building on the existing operation, introducing new ideas or taking the business in a different direction.

For the right purchaser, this could be the chance to acquire the business, the brand, the equipment, the premises and the customer base - all in one established operation.

The business has experienced steady year-on-year growth and is offered as an established going concern. Detailed financial information, including turnover, profitability and trading accounts, is available on asking to genuinely interested parties, subject to appropriate confidentiality arrangements.

The business occupies a two-storey mid-terrace retail property extending to approximately 1,657 sq ft. The ground floor provides the principal retail and operational areas, including the sales counter, preparation areas and rear storage.

The property occupies a great, prominent spot on Shettleston Road, with a highly visible shop front that catches the attention of both passing traffic and pedestrians. The location benefits from strong footfall and regular passing trade, with the business being a familiar and well-known name in the local community.

There is free on-street parking outside and nearby, making it easy for customers to stop in and shop. With its busy location, prominent frontage, loyal local customer base and easy parking, the premises provide an excellent setting for continuing the Lennon Butchers business. Shettleston train station is also a short distance away, with regular bus services running along Shettleston Road.
