The Opportunity Punch is looking to identify a suitable tenant for the New Inn which offers an excellent business opportunity The property has prominent main road frontage on the A80 Cumbernauld Road, with a catchment population of 25,000 blue collar adults within a 1.5 mile radius. A complete refurbishment of the property is planned to take advantage of the undoubted business opportunity. The New Inn requires an experienced operator who can carry on, improve and develop the business opportunity after the planned comprehensive refurbishment. In this regard, Punch Taverns have proposals to re-clad the exterior walls, provide new external signage and lighting and revamp the beer garden with new decking and new garden furniture. Internally, the refurbishment will create one large customer trading area from the existing public and lounge bars served by a single wrap around bar gantry. The trading area will have new fixed seating, new lighting, new floor coverings and a raised entertainment area. The ladies, gents and disabled toilets are to be upgraded as is the commercial kitchen. The proposed refurbishment will also include comprehensive internal and external redecoration. Location The property has excellent roadside frontage on the main A80 Cumbernauld Road within Millerston, approximately 7 miles north east of Glasgow City Centre. Within a 1.5 mile radius, there is a catchment population of over 25,000 adults. Nearby facilities in Millerston include a bookmakers, Post Office, convenience store and two hot food takeaways. Description The New Inn is a single storey detached building under a flat roof. Currently, the outlet comprises two rooms, a traditional public bar and lounge, the latter used for private parties and entertainment nights. Externally, there is a small beer garden to the front with a rear car park which can accommodate 8 vehicles. The proposal is to convert the two room operation into one customer trading area with a new wrap-around bar gantry and back bar, with the trading area a mix of new fixed seating and loose furniture with an emphasis on providing entertainment, televised sport and also pool and darts. The ladies, gents and disabled toilets will all be upgraded, as will the trade kitchen which will be able to provide basic pub
food although we envisage that post refurbishment, the outlet will remain very wet led with the ability to attract more customers from the large catchment population of 25,000, predominantly blue collar workers within a 1.5 mile radius.
