THE BUSINESS/OPPORTUNITY
Our client’s family have operated the premises for almost 40 years, with the premises trading as Eastern Palace Indian restaurant for almost 35 years and then eventually as Burristro as it is today.
Burristro trades as a Mexican restaurant and takeaway selling a good selection of Mexican food such as tacos, burritos, enchiladas, quesadillas etc as well a selection of wines, beers, spirits and soft drinks.
The business enjoys an excellent reputation which is reflected in its online reviews, and it has built up a strong customer base with lots of locals and regulars from Coatbridge and the surrounding towns and villages, as well as benefitting from the many nearby amenities.
Due to our client’s other business interests which have grown in the last few years, they no longer have the time to concentrate on running and developing the business and only trade limited days and hours to suit themselves.
It is felt that the sale represents a great business opportunity for a new owner operator who can devote the necessary time to developing the business. The premises are in walk in condition and have been designed and fitted in such a way that they would easily lend themselves to suit a variety of cuisine styles and concepts.
