Popular chip shop up for sale as owners 'reluctantly' put Ayrshire takeaway on market

A popular Ayrshire chippy is on the market.

Shepherd Chartered Surveyors is marketing traditional fish and chip shop, AJ’s Plaice, in Ayr’s Hillfoot Road.

The business is located in a fully occupied neighbourhood parade on Hillfoot Road in the established residential Masonhill district of Ayr — close to both Forehill Primary and Kyle Academy.

The agents say the end terraced single storey retail unit, situated within a parade of similar units, has free shared customer car parking to the front and comprises a sales area, prep area, stores and WC facilities.

The unit is fully equipped and trading as a traditional fish and chip shop with equipment, including a frying range, pizza oven and potato peeler amongst others.

AJ’s Plaice is operated by the owner together with a small pool of full and part time staff and currently trades from 4pm to 9pm five days a week and 4pm to 8pm on a Sunday. It is closed on a Tuesday.

Shepherd say AJ’s Plaice enjoys “good repeat local custom” and offers a home delivery service via Just Eat.

Shepherd Partner Kevin Bell said: “Our clients have reluctantly decided to sell AJ’s Plaice to focus on interests elsewhere and there is therefore potential for the buyer to further develop what is already an established and profitable hot food takeaway.

“Finished to a high standard throughout, with 100 per cent rates relief available to qualifying occupiers, we anticipate keen interest in this business opportunity.”

The property is held on a lease at a current passing rental of £13,000 PA.

Premium offers over £30,000 are invited.

Interested parties should contact the sole selling agents on telephone 01292 267987.
