Hilton Smythe is delighted to welcome to the market a well-established Leasehold café in the popular Scottish Borders town of Selkirk.
Courthouse Coffee Shop has been under the careful and meticulous ownership of our client for a number of years, building up an enviable reputation not just locally but also further afield, a true testament to the calibre of business on offer. The business is now being offered for sale as it’s our clients desire to focus on other business commitments.
The business offers quality fayre in a pleasant and relaxed setting, offering a selection of light lunches, including toasties, salads and sandwiches, home baking, gluten and dairy free selections, outside catering service and hot and cold drinks, all backed up with some excellent online reviews.
We feel there is scope to increase the turnover perhaps with a new owner embarking on a modest marketing campaign to highlight the excellent produce and services offered, along with the use of social media platforms, and with the possible introduction of a dedicated website to help further promote the business and could also look to extend the current trading hours to help increase turnover.
