Former Superdrug shop fails to sell at auction

Kilmarnock's former Superdrug shop has failed to sell at auction.

The hulking three-floor building in the town centre was put under the hammer last week but didn't sell.

Marketers have put a £375,000 price on the King Street unit and is still for sale through Bowman Rebecchi Limited, Scotland.

The shop has lay empty for more than two years after the beauty giant pulled out of the town.

The description of the property reads: "This prime town centre location is available to buy. providing high footfall and excellent visibility for business use across three floors at the corner of Queen and King Street at the heart of Kilmarnock town centre.

"The subjects comprise a substantial stand-alone commercial development of traditional construction surmounted by a flat roof overlaid in concrete.

"Benefitting from a traditional return frontage, this fantastic opportunity offers display space on King Street and also onto Queen Street, which is the main thoroughfare from the Queen Street Car Park.

"Formed over 3 stories, the subjects benefit from a substantial sales floor at ground level with access gained via twin aluminium framed doors leading to the open-plan sales area.

"Floors have been overlaid in screeded concrete with lighting provided by fluorescent strips with heating and cooling from the air conditioning system also within the suspended acoustic tile ceiling.

"The ground floor has been partitioned to form a storage area along with staircases and elevator leading to the upper floors providing further storage, office, staff facilities along with training rooms."

Police raided the former store in January 2021 with cops discovering £100,000 worth of class B drugs, believed to be cannabis.
