An established dessert and ice-cream takeaway occupying the ground and basement of a Georgian building on South Street. The business trades as a turnkey operation with a high-standard contemporary fit-out, a 24-pan ice cream counter, professional kitchen with extract ventilation, EPOS and CCTV, and seating for around 24 customers — ready for immediate takeover.
Trading c. £7,000 per week and operating seven days, the business has built regular footfall on a busy arterial route close to public transport and Perth rail station. All fixtures and fittings are included in the goodwill asking price; stock is additional. Rent is quoted at £18,000 per annum and VAT is not payable on the rent.
Prospective buyers should note the property is leasehold with approximately 10 years remaining on the proposed lease. That limited term may restrict mortgage finance options and some lenders could refuse to lend. Heating is electric with no gas supply, and the wider area is classified as very deprived, which affects local spending power but also offers opportunity for growth from evening and student trade.
This is best suited to an investor or operator seeking a hands-on, self-employment opportunity who can capitalise on the established customer base and increase turnover through extended marketing, tweaked opening hours, or menu expansion. Proof of sales will be made available to seriously interested parties after viewing.
