Glasgow is Scotland's largest city with a population of over 630,000. Glasgow's major cultural institutions enjoy international reputations including The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Burrell Collection, Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, Royal Scottish National Orchestra, BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Scottish Ballet and Scottish Opera.

Both Shops in Glasgow are well located in central popular areas. Great Western Road has developed significantly and became one of the most famous streets in the UK as lots of new businesses continue to open. As such, it is a place where there is something for everyone: from natural wine bars to hip cafes, and from Glasgow’s only Michelin star restaurant to a plethora of different eateries offer a mixing of different cuisines. The shop itself is located close to the Botanic Gardens in Glasgow's famous west end,

Kings Street is located close to the river Clyde near the Merchant City area. It is a hub for trendy shops, stylish restaurants, and chic bars. There is consistent lively atmosphere and the area has many markets. The shop is located within a parade which houses similar business, a bar, and a takeaway.

The city of Dundee is the forth largest city in Scotland. Lying within the historic county of Angus, it was an important east coast trading port due to its location on the Firth of Tay, which feeds the North sea. Today, Dundee is promoted as 'One City, Many Discoveries' in honour of Dundee's history of scientific activities.

Dundee has a high student population and the shop has a great location on Perth Road next to the University of Dundee in the city centre perfect for the Gen Z target market like influencer Beabadoobee - click here for Instagram link

All three premises have stock displayed on hanging rails around the store with a single service area and changing room(s). Stock is arrange by type and colour and all locations have an open plan design to aid customers peruse stock.

The site at Great Western Road also has an upstairs sales space.

All fixtures and fittings are owned outright and are included in the sale.

A fantastic opportunity to become the owner of three, profitable, vintage clothing stores. The West Vintage brand has been built by our client over a number of years and became an institution of the Glasgow fashion scene with all three sites producing strong turnover with exceptional margins.

The businesses benefit from repeat custom from the surrounding areas, as well as passing trade due to the main road locations with proximity to universities and student accommodations also a benefit to trade.

This is an outstanding opportunity to acquire a profitable business that still has scope to expand further. A new operator may wish to move into the online ordering space or replicate the success by opening more sites across the country, with 58% of Gen Z buying second-hand apparel over the last 12 months.

We believe this could be a great lifestyle change opportunity for the right individual or be added to an existing operators portfolio.

A mixture of full-time and part-time staff are employed. All remaining staff will transfer under TUPE.
