Glasgow West End's "best kept secret" for sale

Specialist business property adviser Christie & Co has been instructed to sell a popular licensed bistro in the popular West End area of Glasgow.

Located on Dumbarton Road, the Cozi Bistro is well-known in the area for its fresh, hearty food, home baking and friendly staff, as well as the often “retro” music that is frequently heard within its walls, as is described by one TripAdviser reviewer as “Glasgow West End’s best kept secret.”

The bar/bistro currently only trades between 10am-5.30pm Monday to Saturday.  Permission has been granted to allow this licensed business to operate 7 days a week, closing at 11pm. 

Josh Hill, Business Agent at Christie & Co’s Glasgow office is  handling the sale and said, "This is a great opportunity for an operator to develop what already is an established and popular bistro. With recent events taking place at Glasgow’s SSE Hydro there is no question the business is benefiting from an increased level of passing trade. Extending opening hours and opening on a Sunday would also further increase profits."

“Cozi Bistro is also situated close to the area’s new student residences which are opening in September. The area will also hopefully be benefitting from 701 student apartments within the area for which planning permission has already been applied for.

“The current owners have decided that due to their other business interests, they cannot put as much time into Cozi Bistro as they would like, and so are now looking to pass their baton to an operator with a passion for good food.”

Christie & Co are inviting offers in the region of £49,000 for the leasehold going concern.
