Retail premises for sale

Gibson's Bakery, Main Street, Torrance, Glasgow, East Dunbartonshire G64

**The opportunity**

Gibson’s Bakery presents an opportunity to acquire an established bakery business together with its substantial detached premises in the East Dunbartonshire village of Torrance. Offered as a freehold going concern, the sale brings together on-site production, customer sales and supporting accommodation within a self-contained property. The combination of an existing business and its own premises makes the opportunity suited to a hands-on owner-operator or an established bakery business.

**Location and situation**

The bakery is situated at 101 Main Street, close to the junction with Firbank Avenue, within a predominantly residential village setting approximately eight miles north of Glasgow. Bishopbriggs and Kirkintilloch are nearby, while the A807 and A803 provide connections to surrounding towns and the wider Glasgow area. The location combines a village trading position with access to a broader catchment.

**The property**

The accommodation centres on an open-plan bakery, with a customer serving area at the front of the building. Production is supported by additional preparation rooms, refrigeration and storage areas, alongside staff facilities and WCs. A rear dispatch area opens to the yard through a roller shutter, providing access for loading and collections. A first-floor office completes the accommodation.

The premises extend to approximately 415.84 sq m (4,476 sq ft) gross internal area, comprising approximately 405.80 sq m at ground-floor level and a 10.04 sq m first-floor office. The self-contained site extends to approximately 0.17 acres and includes tarmac parking with two accesses from Main Street. Mains gas, electricity, water and drainage are reported to serve the property. Areas are approximate, based on the supplied 2024 valuation, and services have not been tested.

**Trading performance**

The unaudited accounts for the year ended 31 October 2025 record turnover of £178,505, compared with £174,484 in the preceding year. Gross profit amounted to £148,618, with ebitda of £43,486. Adjusted ebitda was £86,917, after adding back director salary, employer National Insurance and pension contributions. This adjusted figure is before any allowance for owner or replacement labour and should not be regarded as a guaranteed return.

An incoming operator could explore wider local supply and pre-order sales, subject to available capacity and their own business plan.

**Sale terms and viewing**

Offers in the region of £295,000 are invited for the freehold going concern, with stock additional at valuation. The property has an EPC rating of E (65). All enquiries and viewing arrangements should be made through CCL Property.
