Summary - CAROL'S CAFE, CASTLE ROAD IV18 0AZ
1 bed 1 bath Takeaway
Freehold commercial property with goodwill and trade contents included
A rare freehold commercial opportunity in the heart of Invergordon: McGinty’s Fish & Chip Shop, adjoining a separately tenanted retail unit. The business is turnkey and trades six days a week with strong 2024 net revenue of c. £240,000 and indicative profits c. £60,000. The adjoining retail unit provides an additional monthly rental income. High tourist footfall from cruise calls and a loyal local following combine to give a diverse customer base.
The premises extend across a large single-storey footprint (c. 197m²/2,127 sq ft) and include a well-equipped commercial kitchen, walk-in freezer, potato prep room, laundry and a café area seating c. 50 covers plus seasonal outdoor seating. The sale includes goodwill, trade contents (per inventory) and the heritable property on a freehold basis, enabling immediate continued operation or alternative commercial use (subject to consents).
Practical considerations: the retail unit’s EPC is rated G (217) and the building will likely need lighting and heating upgrades to improve energy performance. The town’s local economy is classified as very deprived and wider area as hampered aspiration, which may affect staffing and grant eligibility; however, Invergordon’s new Enterprise Zone status and strong tourist inflows mitigate trading risk and offer growth potential.
This opportunity suits an operator seeking an established hospitality turnover with added rental income, or an investor comfortable with straightforward energy and fabric investment to unlock longer-term value.
