18A Nicolson Street, Greenock, PA15

OVERVIEW

This outstanding café/restaurant opportunity is located in the heart of Greenock town centre with Class 3 Hot Food Use and available to let through Bowman Rebecchi – The Home of Property.

The former Browns Cafe and more recently, Brunch All Day were both popular businesses with excellent customer ratings. The business was well established and had built up a reputation for being one of the area's best places to enjoy a light meal or lunch with friends.

The previous vendor operated the business six days per week, open from 10:00-15:00 from Monday to Saturday, offering both sit-ins and take away options and provides an excellent opportunity to expand to offer evening meals.

The Café offered an excellent selection of breakfast fare, light snacks, soup and sandwich platters, lunches, baked potatoes, hot meals, fish teas along a good selection of cakes and pastries to either sit in or take away.

The property is a traditionally built terraced lock up over the ground floor. The main entrance is from the front which in turn leads to all areas private and public. The service counter is located to the right on entering.

The seating area is well presented with space for 56-60 persons. To the rear of the seating area, you will find ladies and gents facilities.

To the rear of the service counter, you will find ample food preparation counters, along with cooking equipment which comes included, as does tables and chairs if required.

The front of the property is straight to the street. There is ample on-street parking in the surrounding area.
