Kirn Variety sold by Bruce & Co

A well-established former post office, convenience store and off licence has been sold to a first-time buyer, advised by Bruce & Co.

Kirn Variety Store is in the small village of Kirn near town of Dunoon and was managed for the past 13 years by our client Mr D Sidhu.

The store closed in November 2020 due to Mr Sidhu relocating and purchasing a separate business. Kirn Variety Store originally sold a range of confectionery, alcohol, tobacco and newspapers, and was also a local post office.

The store was highly popular with the local residents and presented an opportunity for a buyer to acquire a well-established convenience shop with strong profit potential.

Mr Sidhu instructed Bruce & Co in the sale of Kirn Variety Store. Our sales process and industry-leading expertise attracted four excellent offers for the business.

The successful purchaser is a first-time buyer who has plans to reinstate the shop back to its previous profits and to install a good reputation in the area.

Upon completion of the sale, Mr Sidhu said: “I’m very happy with the service received. I was kept up-to-date by Bruce & Co throughout the sales process.

“Many thanks to Lauren Lees for all her help. I would definitely recommend her and Bruce & Co in the future.”

The buyer said: “More than happy with my experience and service provided by Lauren Lees, she was very helpful and always had time to speak to me.

“I’m very happy to be in the shop, there is still a long way to go with work needed to be done in terms of building a good reputation within the area, but I’m are looking forward to growing the business.”

Lauren Lees, Sales Negotiator at Bruce & Co said: “Delighted to have sold this business for our vendor in such a short amount of time.

“The buyer has a lot of work ahead of him, but he has experience and knowledge and will be fine, the seller can now focus solely on his other business. I wish both the best of luck in the future.”
