Glasgow's Hidden Lane Tearoom still searching for new owner for 'booming' Finnieston business

A new owner is still being sought for one of Glasgow's most popular tearooms.

The Hidden Lane Tearoom has been on the market since March with the current owners moving on due to 'personal reasons' and running another business.

Dating back more than 100 years and having operated as a vintage tearoom for the last 12 years, the Finnieston cafe is still enjoying 'booming' business and could be the perfect opportunity for anyone looking to get into the hospitality industry.

The current owners have taken to social media to encourage potential buyers to get in touch.

Posting to Facebook, they said: "Our lovely vintage tearoom in Finnieston is on the market!

"The Hidden Lane Tearoom is a vintage institution, and we’re looking for a new owner/operator to hand over our aprons to.

"The tearoom is in a really great place and we’re delighted to say business is booming – we have a fantastic small team, great reviews and our scones are second to none.

"Due to a mix of personal reasons and also running a another business, we are looking for someone who can continue to give it the love it deserves to keep thriving!"

We previously reported how the tearoom is based on the quirky Hidden Lane. The Tearoom is placed at the rear of the Hidden Lane with 60 covers in total spread over the ground floor, first floor and pavement seating outside.

Daytime hours are only available for the business but it has the potential to increase its hours alongside obtaining an alcohol license.

Leasehold of the property is presented at £45,000 with rent at £23,400. The turnover and net profit is available to request and the business can be viewed on Rightbiz here.

The advertisement reads: “The Hidden Lane Tearoom was established approximately 12 years ago and is therefore well established and something of a local institution. Nestled within the Hidden Lane, the business benefits from the many customers who visit the various neighbouring businesses and the tearoom has become a real hub to this creative community.”

“The Hidden Lane is home to a fantastic and eclectic mix of local, independent and predominantly artistic businesses including a brewery, record store, gift shop, pottery shop, art gallery, yoga studio etc to name a few, and the lane benefits from good levels of footfall as a result.

“In recent years, Finnieston has become arguably the most desirable eating and drinking circuit in Glasgow with many new stylish bar and restaurant openings, as well as a number of retail operators, ensuring the area is a hive of activity throughout the day and evening.”

Anyone interested can drop The Hidden Tearoom a message or contact their estate agent: https://www.smithandclough.com
