Corner on the Square, Beauly
An exceptional opportunity to acquire one of the Highlands’ most recognisable and well-established independent food businesses, occupying a highly prominent corner trading position in the heart of Beauly on the popular North Coast 500 tourist route.
Corner on the Square is a thriving licensed delicatessen, eaterie and fresh food larder, combining a strong hospitality offering with a premium fine food and drink retail operation. The business enjoys a loyal year-round local customer base, complemented by consistent visitor trade driven by its prime location within a popular Highland destination.
The operation has evolved into a substantial and highly diversified business, incorporating a busy restaurant, delicatessen, fine food and drink retail, adjoining ice cream and fresh produce unit, outside catering division and hamper sales.
Significant investment has been made into the kitchen, internal fit-out and overall presentation, resulting in a high-quality turnkey opportunity with immediate trading capability.
Corner on the Square is a long-established and highly regarded independent business which has become a central part of village life in Beauly.
The main business comprises a successful licensed delicatessen and eaterie offering breakfast, lunch, takeaway food and a high-quality retail selection. The business operates as a true “fresh food larder”, providing customers with a carefully curated range of premium produce, gifts and specialist food items.
A key strength is the fine food and drink retail offering, including an extensive and thoughtfully selected range of wines, whiskies, gins and premium spirits. The selection includes specialist, limited edition and award-winning products not typically found in supermarkets, giving the business a strong independent retail identity.
The business has also developed a highly popular pizza offering, supported by dedicated pizza ovens, alongside a premises licence permitting alcohol sales until 11pm. Evening trading is already undertaken during peak periods and presents clear scope for further expansion.
The adjoining unit forms an integral part of the operation. The front of this space trades as an ice cream and crepe offering, whilst the rear provides a well-presented fresh produce and grocery area, including fruit, vegetables, herbs, spices and complementary retail items. This creates a valuable additional revenue stream and enhances the overall customer offering.
Further income is generated through a well-established outside catering service together with hamper sales, contributing to a robust and diversified business model.
The business trades strongly throughout the year and benefits significantly from increased footfall during the busier summer months due to its position on the NC500 route.
The business occupies one of the most prominent trading positions within Beauly, with a highly visible corner site fronting both High Street and Croyard Road.
Beauly is a highly desirable Highland village located a short distance west of Inverness, known for its attractive square, independent retailers and strong sense of community.
The village benefits from consistent year-round trade, with a loyal local population and significant visitor numbers, particularly during the summer months. Its position on the North Coast 500 tourist route further enhances footfall and trading potential.
The premises occupy an impressive and highly visible corner position with extensive glazed frontage, attractive branded awnings and external seating, creating a strong and inviting customer presence.
Internally, the main restaurant area is bright, spacious and well presented, benefiting from excellent natural light and a clean, modern fit-out. Seating is well arranged, creating a comfortable and relaxed environment for customers.
The delicatessen and retail areas are particularly strong, with well-stocked shelving and a high-quality product mix reinforcing the business’s position as a premium fresh food larder and fine food retailer.
The adjoining unit provides additional trading space and is well configured to support both takeaway and retail activity, enhancing the overall scale and flexibility of the business.
The business benefits from a well-equipped and fully operational commercial kitchen, capable of supporting high-volume food preparation and service.
The kitchen includes a full extraction system, gas range, dedicated pizza ovens, extensive stainless steel preparation areas and a practical workflow layout.
The configuration allows multiple staff to work efficiently, supporting both day-to-day service and the established outside catering operation.
