86 Shore Street, Gourock, PA19

This fantastic Class 3 Hot Food takeaway is available to let located directly off of the A78 main road through the popular and growing Gourock town centre.

Home to the former Wee Chippy for over four decades, the property has lain vacant for the past six years, with the internal elements in the process of being removed.

Extensive works have taken place externally on the building to refurbish what was a tired property into a vibrant new space ready for a growing business, with our client open to discussions with new occupants as to intended use.

The current layout provides a good-sized waiting/ordering area at the front of the building, which leads to a large kitchen area with toilet, lobby and wash up area to the rear. 

The property is set to be cleared internally, with the landlord willing to work alongside a new tenant to create a long-term partnership for the property.

There is a range of on-street parking for staff and visitors. 

Gourock is a thriving town, bucking the retail challenges nationally, with a high demand for units like this in and around the town centre area. As a result, this property is expected to be popular and likely to be let quickly.

Further images and a virtual tour are to follow with viewings to be scheduled in advance to enable entry.

PLANNING

A previous planning application in 2016 to Inverclyde Council (16/0275/IC) for a change of use of hot food takeaway to restaurant (Class 3) together with the removal of existing roller shutters, installation of retractable canopy and repainting of shopfront was approved but has since lapsed.
